Description of problem: The VMware vSphere web client plug-in for firefox requires selinux policy update to allow writing log files in the /tmp directory. SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config from 'create' accesses on the file plugin-1319.log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that plugin-config should be allowed create access on the plugin-1319.log 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 unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0 Target Objects plugin-1319.log [ file ] Source plugin-config Source Path /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-16.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-92.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.9-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 26 12:50:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 4 First Seen 2013-07-08 05:29:45 EDT Last Seen 2013-07-08 05:29:45 EDT Local ID 7215f8f3-43ac-4c09-9c75-597a9b270f9c Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1373275785.792:3297): avc: denied { create } for pid=1319 comm="plugin-config" name="plugin-1319.log" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_config_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1373275785.792:3297): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=1754ad8 a1=241 a2=1b6 a3=238 items=0 ppid=1271 pid=1319 auid=500 uid=99 gid=99 euid=99 suid=99 fsuid=99 egid=99 sgid=99 fsgid=99 ses=42 tty=(none) 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,user_tmp_t,file,create audit2allow #============= mozilla_plugin_config_t ============== #!!!!
