Detailed Description The /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config application attempted to load /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so which requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html web page explains how to remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Allowing Access If you trust /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so" You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so" The following command will allow this access: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so [ file ] Affected RPM Packages nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-12.fc8 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.0.8-56.fc8 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name plugins.allow_execmod Host Name jjc-mf-Fedora Platform Linux jjc-mf-Fedora 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Nov 8 21:41:26 EST 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 21 First Seen Sat Nov 24 22:39:26 2007 Last Seen Sun Nov 25 13:53:48 2007 Local ID 8bab165b-8053-4480-bcc3-7a9462a03468 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { execmod } for comm=plugin-config dev=dm-0 egid=500 euid=0 exe=/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugin-con
