*** Bug 515188 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** pls check this again ... looks like we have two similar bugs re t-bird marked as duplicates of each other - the other bug # is about the poker3d pkg; surely doesn't have anything to do with either of these. get some sleep, "son", and then please take another look at this (haha, as I myself am sitting here at 5am) -!! thank you:) Yes, there are issues relating to 'execmem' and 'execstack'. For now you can turn on allow_execstack boolean. # setsebool -P allow_execstack=1 This is a thunderbird bug or related to some plugin. thunderbird should not require execmem to run. The other bug is for firefox/XR so technically is not quite the same, but the code is exactly the same, and this will be fixed all at once, so duping to 512845 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 512845 *** |
Created attachment 355981 [details] SELinux preventing thunderbird-bin writable memory segment executable Description of problem: repeating error at start of application but T-bird seems to run fine; concerns me because "potential security problem" per SELinux; newbie; should I do anything or ignore? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): T-bird 3.0b2 How reproducible: at start of app Steps to Reproduce: 1. start up app 2. 3. Actual results: app seems to run fine thus far but just getting started using F11 (other than black screen about once/day past week or so w/FF & T-bird usually only apps running; sometimes hv text editor & setroubleshooter open also) Expected results: No errors.
