Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4294

Not sure if this is the fault of firejail's default profiles or whether it is the packaging made for Debian 10 of the firejail-profiles

firejail/stable,stable 0.9.58.2-2+deb10u2 amd64

firejail-profiles/stable,stable 0.9.58.2-2+deb10u2 a

Bug and expected behavior

  • Describe the bug.
    Firejail fails to launch Bitwarden 1.24.6

Firejail complains that networking feature is disabled (which breaks the vault safe sync)

Warning: networking feature is disabled in Firejail configuration file
Seccomp list in: !chroot, check list: @default-keep, prelist: unknown,

then complains about it's own config and then aborts.

Warning: not remounting /run/user/1000/gvfs
Seccomp list in: !chroot, check list: @default-keep, prelist: unknown,
Child process initialized in 1095.02 ms
[17:0522/205528.592544:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/Bitwarden/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

I suspect that if u2f/yubikey/fido2 is enabled on the client this will break as well

  • What did you expect to happen?
    Bitwarden to just load

** ERROR LOG**

the chrome-sandbox is owned by root and is 4755

I checked the chrome-sandbox

No profile and disabling firejail

  • What changed calling firejail --noprofile /path/to/program in a terminal?
    bitwarden loads and runs normally and can sync to online vault.

  • What changed calling the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc)?
    /Bitwarden-1.24.6-amd64.deb

Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

sudo apt install firejail firejail-profiles
sudo firecfg

run bitwarden from either launch icon or command line

Environment

  • Linux distribution and version (ie output of lsb_release -a, screenfetch or cat /etc/os-release)
    Debian 10 fully updated

  • Firejail version (output of firejail --version) exclusive or used git commit (git rev-parse HEAD)

  • firejail/stable,stable 0.9.58.2-2+deb10u2

  • Latest Bitwarden .DEB downloaded from Bitwarden's own website Bitwarden-1.24.6-amd64.deb

Additional context
Other context about the problem like related errors to understand the problem.

Can you please show your /etc/firejail/firejail.config?
It sounds like you have network no configured (which is not disabled by default).

  • The program has a profile.

Firejail 0.9.58.2 has no profile for bitwarden.
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/tree/0.9.58.2 (8 Feb 2019) but c813294e47 (2 May 2019).

Can you post your profile.

Firejail complains that networking feature is disabled (which breaks the vault safe sync)

How can this breaks the sync function of bitwarden?

the chrome-sandbox is owned by root and is 4755

Inside or outside of the sandbox? [Rhetorical question]

[17:0522/205528.592544:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/Bitwarden/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Bitwarden uses electron. PR will come.
