Description Michael Wiktowy 2008-05-23 01:58:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
An app (PokerStars client) that I ran under Wine opened a URL with the default
non-wine viewer, Firefox.

SETroubleshoot was not happy. Neither was Firefox at having selinux block access
to every file it needs to write to in ~.mozilla/. See attached sample
notification. You get several of the same type for Target Objects:
places.sqlite-journal [ filesystem ]
bookmarks-2008-05-22.json [ filesystem ]
localstore-1.rdf [ filesystem ]
patterns.ini [ filesystem ]
patterns.ini [ filesystem ]
urlclassifier3.sqlite-journal [ filesystem ]
cookies.sqlite-journal [ filesystem ]
formhistory.sqlite-journal [ filesystem ]
lock [ filesystem ]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.3.1-51.fc9.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-51.fc9.noarch
wine-0.9.58-1.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Unknown since I didn't want to taunt selinux again but 'restorecon -R
~user/.mozilla/' fixes the issue with no data loss.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a wine app that you can cause to load a URL (PokerStars client in my case)
2. Cause it to open a URL
3. Profit
  
Actual results:
Firefox unable to update or load bookmarks and other files under ~/.mozilla

Expected results:
Firefox should open and all should be well. I have done this sort of thing under
F8 with no ill effects.

Additional info:
If you don't use wine, let me know if you want any policies tested.

I cannot seem to recreate this bug after installing the following
updates-testing from koji:
selinux-policy-3.3.1-55.fc9.noarch
selinux-policy-devel-3.3.1-55.fc9.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-55.fc9.noarch

Since I didn't try recreating this problem before updating I don't know if the
update fixed the problem (there didn't seem to be anything wine specific in the
latest changelogs) or it was not repeatable in the first place after a
restorecon to the .mozilla directory.

The good news is that things seem to work fine now :]

It might be a file system that we did not understand.

But for now, I will close as currentrelease, If you recreate reopen the bug.
