Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice.bin from loading /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 which requires text relocation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.6.4-8.fc7 openoffice.org2.3.1 How reproducible: Starting OpenOffice without having jdk and without following command: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: The /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice.bin application attempted to load /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 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 SELinux Memory Protection Tests web page explains how to remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report against this package. The following command will allow this access:chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 Openoffice works fine after this command. Expected results: Openoffice should run normally. Additional info:
/opt/openoffice.org2.3/ ... is *NOT* where my rpms go. Logging against the openoffice.org component of our rpms is totally bogus. Either use the fedora provided openoffice.org rpms, or log the bug directly against selinux-targeted.
