Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox from loading /home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: The firefox application attempted to load /home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.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://www.akkadia.org/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow /home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report. Allowing Access: If you trust /home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.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/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so'" Fix Command: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so' Additional Information: Source Context user_u:user_r:user_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:mozilla_home_t:s0 Target Objects /home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/exten sions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platf orm/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so [ file ] Source firefox Source Path /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages firefox-3.6.13-1.fc13 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.7.19-76.fc13 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execmod Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686 #1 SMP Wed Dec 15 07:40:25 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 10 First Seen Mon 03 Jan 2011 09:52:41 AM EST Last Seen Sun 16 Jan 2011 09:55:43 PM EST Local ID ddc75066-b211-4def-ab96-7fa70b9bbf78 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1295232943.395:105225): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=6315 comm="firefox" path="/home/walt/.mozilla/firefox/5q01kurs.default/extensions/{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}/platform/Linux/components/ColorZilla.so" dev=dm-0 ino=2098387 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:mozilla_home_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1295232943.395:105225): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=639000 a1=3000 a2=5 a3=bf979b50 items=0 ppid=6298 pid=6315 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="firefox" exe="/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox" subj=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from allow_execmod,firefox,user_t,mozilla_home_t,file,execmod audit2allow suggests: #============= user_t ============== allow user_t mozilla_home_t:file execmod;
If you are going to download untrusted content to your homedir and allow it to execmod Miroslav add tunable_policy(`allow_execmod',` userdom_execmod_user_home_files(staff_usertype) ') and tunable_policy(`allow_execmod',` userdom_execmod_user_home_files(user_usertype) ') To F13/F14 policy staff.te and unprivuser.te Walt for now you can mark this libary as textrel_shlib_t so it will work. Otherwise you will have to set the allow_execmod boolean.
