Description Kostas Sfakiotakis 2011-03-07 17:17:49 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110301 Fedora/3.6.14-1.fc14 Firefox/3.6.14

I am using firefox-3.6.14-1.fc14.x86_64 ans whenever i try to launch firefox i get an alert from SELinux that /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox attempted this access : execstack . The problem is that if i run the command execstack -q /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox  , execstack reports that the file in question doesn´t use the execstack bit . Trying to investigate a bit further neither does anyone of my libraries located in /lib64, /usr/lib  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch firefox 
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Simply run firefox

It is a shared library that is marked with execstack flag, most likely.
