:SELinux is preventing totem-plugin-vi from 'execute' accesses on the file /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.

:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that totem-plugin-vi should be allowed execute access on the ntlm_auth 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 totem-plugin-vi /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-04-22 11:54:17 UTC
Any idea why totem is trying to execute ntlm_auth?

> Any idea why totem is trying to execute ntlm_auth?
It happens every time I try to play a youtube video (for example) using the totem plugin for firefox.

It seems to be due to this commit in libsoup (which totem uses):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650940

In particular, this part of the patch:
+#ifdef USE_NTLM_AUTH
+	priv->ntlm_auth_accessible = (access (NTLM_AUTH, X_OK) == 0);
+#endif
This runs in soup_auth_manager_ntlm_init in libsoup/soup-auth-manager-ntlm.c. It seems like the access call triggers the SELinux warning.

I checked this by surronding changing that line to
---
access ("/usr/bin/sudo", X_OK);
priv->ntlm_auth_accessible = (access (NTLM_AUTH, X_OK) == 0);
access ("/usr/bin/su", X_OK);
---
and sure enough now the warning when loading youtube videos is:
----
type=AVC msg=audit(1335101333.436:331): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=15895 comm="totem-plugin-vi" name="sudo" dev="dm-2" ino=59584 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sudo_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
type=AVC msg=audit(1335101333.436:332): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=15895 comm="totem-plugin-vi" name="ntlm_auth" dev="dm-2" ino=163980 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:winbind_helper_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
type=AVC msg=audit(1335101333.436:333): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=15895 comm="totem-plugin-vi" name="su" dev="dm-2" ino=142014 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:su_exec_t:s0 tclass=file

Functionality is not affected, though, the video pays fine.
