Description Paolo Bonzini 2011-01-19 14:07:09 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin from 'write' accesses on the file /root/.mozilla/firefox/h0i7vsgx.default/.parentlock.

I believe both suggestions are wrong, however I could not get an nsplugin_home_t context on the file with

semanage fcontext -a -t nsplugin_home_t \
  'HOME_DIR/\.mozilla/firefox(/[^/]*)/\.parentlock'

Something like that should work though.

*****  Plugin leaks (50.5 confidence) suggests  ******************************

If you want to ignore npviewer.bin trying to write access the .parentlock file, because you believe it should not need this access.
Then you should report this as a bug.  
You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access.
Do
# grep /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

*****  Plugin catchall (50.5 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that npviewer.bin should be allowed write access on the .parentlock file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep npviewer.bin /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Paolo Bonzini 2011-01-19 14:09:39 UTC
Hmm, looks like the contexts are wrong on the /root/.mozilla directory (and below), however after

restorecon -vR /root/.mozilla/firefox/

I still see them as admin_home_t rather than mozilla_home_t.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-01-19 15:22:42 UTC
Do not run firefox as root. it is unsupported by SELinux.

Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2011-01-19 15:29:47 UTC
Maybe worth a sealert plugin?
