Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2011-10-28 10:45:40 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin from 'execmod' accesses on the file /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so.

*****  Plugin allow_execmod (91.4 confidence) suggests  **********************

If you want to allow npviewer.bin to have execmod access on the libflashplayer.so file
Then you need to change the label on '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'
# restorecon -v '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that npviewer.bin should be allowed execmod access on the libflashplayer.so file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep npviewer.bin /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Flash applets are a good thing to run in a sandbox.
Can we please enable this access by default? Or is there a risk this access would surprise the user by not containing the flash as tightly as expected?

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-28 14:01:50 UTC
The alert tells you what to do.# restorecon -v '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'

Comment 2 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2011-11-01 14:27:26 UTC
sorry, no;
[root@machine ~]# ls -lZ /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0       /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
[root@machine ~]# restorecon -v /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
[root@machine ~]# ls -lZ /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0       /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so


[pcfe@machine ~]$ sandbox -t sandbox_web_t -i /home/pcfe/.mozilla/firefox/2t6fot86.for_sandbox -w 1600x1118 -W metacity -X firefox  http://www.youtube.com

then get to any video (and do not long in so you do not potentially end up in the html5 view)

Note, this is only a problem in the sandbox. In non-sandboxed Firefox, the plugin works fine.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-11-02 13:40:53 UTC
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'

Comment 4 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2011-11-04 14:36:58 UTC
Yupp, that works. Both with and without sandbox.
Thanks.

Should this be adjusted in the default policy (presuming it is not already) or should I try and open a bug with Adobe?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-04 17:53:59 UTC
Yes we bring this label back everyother adobe release...
