Any idea why totem is trying to execute ntlm_auth?
(In reply to comment #1) > Any idea why totem is trying to execute ntlm_auth? It happens every time I try to play a youtube video (for example) using the totem plugin for firefox. It seems to be due to this commit in libsoup (which totem uses): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650940 In particular, this part of the patch: +#ifdef USE_NTLM_AUTH + priv->ntlm_auth_accessible = (access (NTLM_AUTH, X_OK) == 0); +#endif This runs in soup_auth_manager_ntlm_init in libsoup/soup-auth-manager-ntlm.c. It seems like the access call triggers the SELinux warning. I checked this by surronding changing that line to --- access ("/usr/bin/sudo", X_OK); priv->ntlm_auth_accessible = (access (NTLM_AUTH, X_OK) == 0); access ("/usr/bin/su", X_OK); --- and sure enough now the warning when loading youtube videos is: ---- type=AVC msg=audit(1335101333.436:331): avc: denied { execute } for pid=15895 comm="totem-plugin-vi" name="sudo" dev="dm-2" ino=59584 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sudo_exec_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1335101333.436:332): avc: denied { execute } for pid=15895 comm="totem-plugin-vi" name="ntlm_auth" dev="dm-2" ino=163980 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:winbind_helper_exec_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1335101333.436:333): avc: denied { execute } for pid=15895 comm="totem-plugin-vi" name="su" dev="dm-2" ino=142014 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:su_exec_t:s0 tclass=file --- Functionality is not affected, though, the video pays fine.
