Bug 442065

Description of problem:

Every time I launch a tab from a URL in gnome-terminal, I get this
AVC.  Why does plugin-config need execmem, and why is this program set-uid root?

>ls -l /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 60048 2008-03-11 10:02
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config*

Summary:

SELinux is preventing plugin-config (nsplugin_config_t) "execstack" to <Unknown>
(nsplugin_config_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by plugin-config. It is not expected that this
access is required by plugin-config and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
