:SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/xulrunner-2/plugin-container from using the 'ipc_lock' capabilities.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that plugin-container should have the ipc_lock capability 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 plugin-containe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Dennis 2012-08-07 16:42:30 UTC
I was running the google talk client and in a hangout at the time.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-08 10:36:47 UTC
Do you have mozilla_plugin_t as permissive domain?


syscall=mlock success=yes

Comment 3 Dennis 2012-08-09 06:21:57 UTC
I haven't changed anything from the stock install.  How do I check?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2012-08-13 19:51:18 UTC
We should dontaudit.  Not sure how this can happen without a setuid app.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2012-08-13 19:52:47 UTC
This could be a case where the SELinux check is done before the DAC check.  The syscall is failing with success, because mlock probably checks the capability and falls back to a safe mode.
