Summary:

SELinux is preventing firefox from loading
/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.so
which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

The firefox application attempted to load
/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.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
/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.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
/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.so
to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t
textrel_shlib_t
'/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.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
'/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.so'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
'/home/rhmercer/.mozilla/firefox/vggw0ppu.default/extensions/piclens/libs/libcooliris19.so'
