Description of problem: I encounter this problem when watching e.g. a youtube video via Firefox. I can manually relabel the file but since the files get automatically created this is practically not doable for all files. Is it possible to create a policy rule such that all new files under the directory are created with the right labels? SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/xulrunner/plugin-container from 'open' accesses on the file /dev/shm/pulse-shm-2263025957. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /dev/shm/pulse-shm-2263025957 default label should be user_tmpfs_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /dev/shm/pulse-shm-2263025957 ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that plugin-container should be allowed open access on the pulse-shm-2263025957 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-containe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c 0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/shm/pulse-shm-2263025957 [ file ] Source plugin-containe Source Path /usr/lib64/xulrunner/plugin-container Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages xulrunner-18.0-6.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) 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 16:44:29 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-01-28 21:22:51 CET Last Seen 2013-01-28 21:22:51 CET Local ID 8fca6f4b-6aa9-4f2d-9a50-52b1833fac7f Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1359404571.695:918): avc: denied { open } for pid=23982 comm="plugin-containe" path="/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2263025957" dev="tmpfs" ino=299157 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1359404571.695:918): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff3a03fe30 a1=a0000 a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=23913 pid=23982 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 ses=2 tty=(none) comm=plugin-containe exe=/usr/lib64/xulrunner/plugin-container subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: plugin-containe,mozilla_plugin_t,tmpfs_t,file,open audit2allow #============= mozilla_plugin_t ============== allow mozilla_plugin_t tmpfs_t:file open; audit2allow -R #============= mozilla_plugin_t ============== allow mozilla_plugin_t tmpfs_t:file open; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 823039
Any idea what process is creating this file?
After experimenting I found out that a wine application creates the file. This means, this is not a mozilla_t problem. Can this be fixed in wine_t or should I create a special policy for my wine app?
abd4f726063b2f00072d0e2de92168926c65a952 added to git to allow wine_t to create tmpfs_t files as user_tmpfs_t which will fix this problem. Thanks for diagnosing this.
