:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that chromium-browser should be allowed read append access on the .org.chromium.Chromium.cymVpB (deleted) 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 chromium-browse /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Scotty Delicious 2011-10-30 17:35:34 UTC
I can no longer load any pages in Chromium after the last update. The chromium package is from the Fedora-Chromium repo.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-31 15:00:19 UTC
yum -y update selinux-policy --enablerepo=updates-testing

Comment 3 Linus Torvalds 2011-11-04 16:54:03 UTC
Now google-chrome just crashes entirely:

    [6374:6374:44773344936:ERROR:nacl_fork_delegate_linux.cc(78)] Bad NaCl helper startup ack (0 bytes)
    [6368:6368:44773382981:FATAL:zygote_host_linux.cc(198)] Check failed: pid_ > 0. Did not find zygote process (using sandbox binary /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox)

and then it aborts. The raw audit has changed, but is clearly not any better:

Please just allow google-chrome to ptrace its children. And please just install google-chrome and *test* your changes. It's not like chrome is some unusual piece of software - it has overtaken firefox as the browser of choice.

Comment 4 Linus Torvalds 2011-11-04 16:56:13 UTC
Btw, if anybody thinks that selinux rules like this add security, they are just wrong.

The *ONLY* thing things like this result in is people saying "selinux is crap" and then turn it off, or turn it into permissive mode and ignore the stupid warnings.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-04 18:08:04 UTC
We are working with the chrome sanbox people right now to get SELinux and there sandbox to work together. We have fixes in selinux-policy-3.10.0-53 and selinux-policy-3.10.0-54 for this.

If you want to turn off SELinux lock down of chrome-sandbox you can by executing
setsebool -P unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition=0
