If you do not use nsplugin, than browser plugins are executed with the users" DAC and MAC privileges. Browse to a malicious site and risk that some plugin messes with your files/processes.

If you use nsplugin than browser plugins operate with separate MAC permissions which allows you to restrict browser plugins, for example restrict browser plugins from deleting user home content or from running programs with the user privileges, disallow network access for browser plugins etc.

Since broswer plugins like flash aren't exactly trustworthy i recommend that nsplugin be installed, SELinux enabled and both be configured properly.

Hi! To tell you the truth I didn't understand a thing from what you said.

SELinux is disabled on my system. How comes it helps not having my browser crushed when it is not working at all?!?!?

I have added chromium-browser support to flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-2.x86_64.rpm, it should be in the repo within the next hour.

Panoz · #**153** 28th September 2009, 01:43 PM

Leigh, can you please elaborate? Do we have to remove the:

Code:

> ls -al /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2009-09-14 11:28 /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

Will it be overwritten or the package does something different?

I believe it will delete and redo the symlink.

Here's the script that it runs when installing/updating or deleting.

#**159** 30th September 2009, 03:22 AM

no, you dont have his repo though im not sure, that Flash one there might be his,

pgar23 · #**160** 30th September 2009, 03:24 AM

How can you tell and how do I get his repo?

pgar23 has exactly what I have and it works for me. Maybe a "yum clean metadata" and then "yum install flash-plugin" again?

#**162** 30th September 2009, 03:30 AM

maybe try that but he may need to install this

Quote:

rpm --import http://www.dfm.uninsubria.it/compiz/...-leigh123linux

without that flash maynot install

robatino · #**163** 30th September 2009, 03:33 AM

pgar23 already did that, and in any case it wouldn't cause the "No package flash-plugin available." error.

Edit: pgar23, can you download the file

http://www.dfm.uninsubria.it/compiz/...8-2.x86_64.rpm

directly? If so you can install it with rpm, or use "yum localinstall flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-2.x86_64.rpm" after downloading.

pgar23 your system response is correct. There is no flash-plugin.i386 available. Only the flash-plugin.x86_64, which is not applicable for your 32bit system.

Please go to adobe's site and install the adobe's repository for 32bit systems. You won't find anything useful on this x86 64-bit subforum for your system
