Description of problem: SELinux is preventing firefox from loading /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so which requires text relocation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): when the citrix client is installed then selinux blocks that file. Citrix client version: ICAClient-11.0-1.i386.rpm How reproducible: start firefox Steps to Reproduce: 1. install citrix client 2. start firefox 3. Actual results: this is the sealert Summary: SELinux is preventing firefox from loading /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: The firefox application attempted to load /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.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 SELinux Memory Protection Tests (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/ICAClient/npica.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package. Allowing Access: If you trust /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so'" You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel.

Please report this as a bug to the people who shipped /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so They have built their library incorrectly. You can include this link. http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/selinux-mem.html If you execute the chcon command in the setroubleshoot report it should fix your problem. chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so' Miroslav can you add this context.
probably something like /usr/lib(64)?/ICAClient/.*\.so(\.[^/]*)* gen_context(system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t,s0) To be safe.
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.5.13-54.fc10
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Closing as current release
