Last modified: 2017-12-06 05:23:33 EST
Description of problem: when running thunderbird in MLS enforcing mode it requests execmem permission Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-3.0-4.el6.i686 selinux-policy-mls-3.7.17-5.el6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start thunderbird 2. 3. Actual results: See execmem requests in audit.log Expected results: No execmem requests in audit.log Additional info: I believe this is tied to a problem in xulrunner. When running firefox it also requests execmem when it starts up and then crashes. According to a google search there is a known issue with the xulrunner in f12

Xulrunner is not used with thunderbird, it's a bug in Thunderbird itself. Also is that still problem with latest thunderbird package?
