Description of problem: Was trying to reinstall mysql SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container from using the 'dac_override' capabilities. ***** Plugin mozplugger (87.7 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to use the plugin package Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins. Do # setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0 ***** Plugin dac_override (12.1 confidence) suggests ********************** If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again. Do Turn on full auditing # auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w Try to recreate AVC. Then execute # ausearch -m avc -ts recent If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it, otherwise report as a bugzilla. ***** Plugin catchall (1.66 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that plugin-container should have the dac_override capability 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 plugin-containe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c 0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c 0.c1023 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source plugin-containe Source Path /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages firefox-39.0-8.fc22.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-128.6.fc22.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.1.2-200.fc22.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 15 20:12:12 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 28 First Seen 2015-08-03 15:52:09 PDT Last Seen 2015-08-03 15:54:15 PDT Local ID 6d8edc2d-3920-4f67-b35e-2cbf7639a83a Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1438642455.481:650): avc: denied { dac_override } for pid=3045 comm="plugin-containe" capability=1 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1438642455.481:650): arch=x86_64 syscall=mkdir success=no exit=EACCES a0=24ca56a500d0 a1=1c0 a2=ffffffffffffff70 a3=24ca5697c030 items=0 ppid=2942 pid=3045 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=plugin-containe exe=/usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: plugin-containe,mozilla_plugin_t,mozilla_plugin_t,capability,dac_override Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-128.6.fc22.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.6.1 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.1.2-200.fc22.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 744318
The error was most likely caused by running Firefox as root (it is strongly recommended against doing so - security risk). If running it as normal user doesn't help, turn on full auditing in order to get target path. # auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w Try to recreate AVC. Then execute # ausearch -m avc -ts recent If you see PATH record, check ownership/permissions on the target directory and fix it.
Closing as NOTABUG. If this show up again, please, re-open this issue. Thank you Vit for analyze.
