Summary: SELinux is preventing /home/thanhbv/Downloads/firefox-3.6b3/firefox-bin from loading /home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: The firefox-bin application attempted to load /home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.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/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report. Allowing Access: If you trust /home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.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/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so'" Fix Command: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so' Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:mozilla_home_t:s0 Target Objects /home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/ex tensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/pl atform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so [ file ] Source firefox-bin Source Path /home/thanhbv/Downloads/firefox-3.6b3/firefox-bin Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-49.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execmod Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 21 16:28:23 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Sat 28 Nov 2009 09:48:11 AM ICT Last Seen Sat 28 Nov 2009 09:48:11 AM ICT Local ID 51bc8a7a-652a-4fec-b0f3-9ce7c1dda751 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1259376491.736:20): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=7418 comm="firefox-bin" path="/home/thanhbv/.mozilla/firefox/insc7pg8.default/extensions/{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so" dev=sda7 ino=103870 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:mozilla_home_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1259376491.736:20): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=1e92000 a1=8000 a2=5 a3=bfd10e40 items=0 ppid=7414 pid=7418 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=2 comm="firefox-bin" exe="/home/thanhbv/Downloads/firefox-3.6b3/firefox-bin" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-49.fc12,allow_execmod,firefox-bin,unconfined_t,mozilla_home_t,file,execmod audit2allow suggests: #============= unconfined_t ============== allow unconfined_t mozilla_home_t:file execmod;
