Description of problem: Firefox hangs any time I access a page that uses java applets example: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp Took me many hours of searching to find out that this was SELinux blocking java plugin. This should not be something that takes hours to troubleshoot. Java plugin should be allowed for firefox. It works fine in Chrome. SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/xulrunner/plugin-container from 'execute_no_trans' accesses on the file /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/bin/java. ***** Plugin restorecon (57.3 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/bin/java default label should be bin_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/bin/java ***** Plugin mozplugger (43.1 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to use the plugin package Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins. Do # setsebool unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0 ***** Plugin catchall (1.06 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that plugin-container should be allowed execute_no_trans access on the java 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:user_home_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/bin/java [ file ] Source plugin-containe Source Path /usr/lib64/xulrunner/plugin-container Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages xulrunner-22.0-1.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-97.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 13 18:56:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-07-17 10:29:01 MDT Last Seen 2013-07-17 10:29:55 MDT Local ID 3d80c626-e49f-4488-8eed-64332e679791 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1374078595.553:4134): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=13342 comm="plugin-containe" path="/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/bin/java" dev="dm-1" ino=1459018 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1374078595.553:4134): arch=x86_64 syscall=execve success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fee42aff940 a1=7fee43a18420 a2=7fee43a1b400 a3=20 items=0 ppid=13275 pid=13342 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,user_home_t,file,execute_no_trans audit2allow #============= mozilla_plugin_t ============== allow mozilla_plugin_t user_home_t:file execute_no_trans; audit2allow -R require { type user_home_t; type mozilla_plugin_t; class file execute_no_trans; } #============= mozilla_plugin_t ============== allow mozilla_plugin_t user_home_t:file execute_no_trans; Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
