Description of problem: Clicked a link in Yumex SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config from read, write access on the chr_file /dev/ptmx. ***** Plugin leaks (86.2 confidence) suggests ****************************** If you want to ignore plugin-config trying to read write access the ptmx chr_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/plugin-config /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp ***** Plugin catchall (14.7 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that plugin-config should be allowed read write access on the ptmx chr_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 plugin-config /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_config_t: s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:ptmx_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/ptmx [ chr_file ] Source plugin-config Source Path /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-12.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.4.11-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Sep 16 13:50:06 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-01-27 09:27:28 EST Last Seen 2013-01-27 09:36:32 EST Local ID c4aff829-bb1a-4ac7-aa32-11726f2c668b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1359297392.936:426): avc: denied { read write } for pid=18849 comm="plugin-config" path="/dev/ptmx" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1124 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_config_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ptmx_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1359297392.936:426): arch=x86_64 syscall=execve success=yes exit=0 a0=255ac90 a1=255abd0 a2=255a300 a3=7fff510f2fd0 items=0 ppid=18847 pid=18849 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=(none) ses=2 comm=plugin-config exe=/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_config_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: plugin-config,mozilla_plugin_config_t,ptmx_t,chr_file,read,write audit2allowunable to open /sys/fs/selinux/policy: Permission denied audit2allow -Runable to open /sys/fs/selinux/policy: Permission denied Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.4.11-1.fc16.x86_64 type: libreport
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
