Bug 520226

Description of problem:

Recently Quake Live, which is a browser based, free and online version of Quake 3 was updated with Linux support.

I tried it out with Firefox and it causes setroubleshooter to throw many hundred of the same issue at me.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.12-80.fc11.noarch
selinux-policy-3.6.12-80.fc11.noarch


How reproducible:
Every time, just log-in to quakelive.com and it'll occur every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to quakelive.com
2. Install the game launcher in Firefox (happens automatically, just confirm)
3. Revisit quakelive.com and attempt to play.

Full error message from setroubleshoot as follows (currently tallied at 529 occurences):


Summary:

SELinux is preventing firefox from loading
/home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

The firefox application attempted to load
/home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so which requires text relocation.
This is a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this
permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this
permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests
(http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to
remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
/home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so to use relocation as a
workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Allowing Access:

If you trust /home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so to run correctly,
you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
'/home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so'" You must also change the
default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a
full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t
'/home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/Jon/.quakelive/quakelive/home/pb/pbcl.so'
