GDB back trace of the crash
I don't know if the GDB backtrace helps.
But at least now I know why I can't write any replace anymore with TB :-[
Is there a better workaround than to allow execmem in SELinux?
*** Bug 528542 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** We may relax the selinux policy for TB as we did for firefox until upstream approves the double page fix. *** Bug 527880 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 525354 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping *** Bug 565451 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is there any solution to this problem that does not create a security risk, please? You can either change the context of the thunderbird.bin to run with this priv by setting it's context to execmem_exec_t. # semanage fcontext -a -t execmem_exec_t /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0/thunderbird-bin # restorecon -R -v /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0 Or you can turn on the allow_execmem or allow_execstack booleans. We have turned these on as the default in F12 updates and F13. There is not more security risk then if you had SELinux disabled. *** Bug 529690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 548267 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 528396 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** somehow related to bug 512845 This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
