Summary: SELinux is preventing /home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/plugin-container from loading /home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: The plugin-containe application attempted to load /home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.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/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report. Allowing Access: If you trust /home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.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/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so'" Fix Command: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so' Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Target Objects /home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so [ file ] Source plugin-containe Source Path /home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/plugin-container Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.7.19-44.fc13 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execmod Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jul 23 17:27:40 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 2 First Seen Sun 15 Aug 2010 03:36:51 PM EDT Last Seen Sun 15 Aug 2010 04:11:25 PM EDT Local ID 8acae2e8-d828-41de-9c0b-f212613d6074 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1281903085.229:17361): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=2410 comm="plugin-containe" path="/home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/libxul.so" dev=dm-2 ino=131642 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1281903085.229:17361): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=fb3000 a1=e17000 a2=5 a3=bfb0c180 items=0 ppid=2387 pid=2410 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="plugin-containe" exe="/home/clyde/Downloads/firefox/plugin-container" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from allow_execmod,plugin-containe,unconfined_t,user_home_t,file,execmod audit2allow suggests: #============= unconfined_t ============== #!!!!

Either use the chcon command mentioned in the alert or turn off the check altogether.
