www/firefox vs paxctl



I've lately been seeing a lot of ~/plugin-container.core files being created, on at least a daily basis (I remove them every day, and they come back in the next days /etc/daily report).

It seems that we need to add plugin-container to the list of unsafe mprotect files:

Is anyone else reporting this?


I've just made this change. Assuming I surive the next 24 hours without getting a new core file, I plan to commit tomorrow.
