Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 219295
browse button on some applications do not work
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:51 EST
Description of problem: The 'browse files in the file system' functionality on some programs do not work while SELinux is activated with the 'enforcing' option. I have seen this problem with Eclipse 3.2.1 when clicking the open file option(tested with 3.3 main stream build and the problem also occurs) and azureus (when selecting the browse button to search for a torrent on the file system). It seems to me that it may be something related to libswt. This can be corrected by disabling SELinux. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy version 2.4.6 release 1.fc6 noarch. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start eclipse 2. Click open file menu item Actual results: Eclipse will hang and the only way to terminate it is by killing it. Expected results: Open the dialog containing the menus to browse the file system. Additional info: Changing SELinux from 'enforcing' to 'disabled' solves the problem in both Eclipse and Azureus.
Are you seeing AVC messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log?
Yes, the message i got in /var/log/messages is the following: Dec 12 14:58:05 localhost dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC avc: denied { send_msg } for msgtype=method_call interface=org.freedesktop.DBus member=Hello dest=org.freedesktop.DBus spid=2857 scontext=user_u:system_r:java_t tcontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tclass=dbus : exe="/bin/dbus-daemon" (sauid=500, hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=?) I dont have a directory /var/log/audit
Should be fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-7.fc6 You can grab this out of fedora-test. or grab it off of http://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/FC6
Thanks Daniel, I'll be waiting for it to come in the updates.
Fixed in current release
