Description Rune Fossdal 2013-07-08 15:24:57 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to log in to the Norwegian internet bank Sparebank1. It seems that SELinux stops the Java Applet.
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25.i386/jre/bin/java from 'getattr' accesses on the file /usr/sbin/crond.

*****  Plugin mozplugger (99.1 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to use the plugin package
Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins.
Do
# setsebool unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

*****  Plugin catchall (1.81 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that java should be allowed getattr access on the crond 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 java /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-07-08 18:30:10 UTC
Did anything actually break or just this AVC get created.

923c607e9a23cc8652c906c07d95f0cbd9735f09 allows this in git, since there  is little reason to block it.

Thanks for reply.
I am a regular Linux and Fedora user but these things are unknown for me how to do. Can you explain in all the steps how to do this?
Best regards

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-07-10 22:14:31 UTC
Please update to the latest policy and see if it works.

You can also disable the protection by executing

# setsebool unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

As root.

But now it doesn't work again. A grey field appears where the applet should load.
