Description

Describe the bug

The wirdlist.db seems to be a SQLite database which is used by Bogofilter. When I run Claws-Mail without firejail and select an email, the file is created. However, when I run Claws-Mail with firejail, no file is created there.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Install claws-mail from debian backports with bogofilter plugin
  2. Mark some e-mail as ham
  3. Look at the folder ~/.bogofilter/

Expected behavior

A wordlist.db with content

Actual behavior

No wordlist.db

Behavior without a profile

What changed calling LC_ALL=C firejail --noprofile /path/to/program in a
terminal?

A wordlist.db exist:

$file wordlist.db 
wordlist.db: SQLite 3.x database, last written using SQLite version 3034001

Additional context

Any other detail that may help to understand/debug the problem

Environment

  • Linux distribution and version (e.g. "Ubuntu 20.04" or "Arch Linux")
    Parrot OS (Debian-based)
  • Firejail version (firejail --version).
$firejail --version
firejail version 0.9.72

Compile time support:
	- always force nonewprivs support is disabled
	- AppArmor support is enabled
	- AppImage support is enabled
	- chroot support is enabled
	- D-BUS proxy support is enabled
	- file transfer support is enabled
	- firetunnel support is disabled
	- IDS support is enabled
	- networking support is enabled
	- output logging is enabled
	- overlayfs support is disabled
	- private-home support is enabled
	- private-cache and tmpfs as user enabled
	- SELinux support is enabled
	- user namespace support is enabled
	- X11 sandboxing support is enabled
  • If you use a development version of firejail, also the commit from which it
    was compiled (git rev-parse HEAD).

Checklist

  • The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
  • I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
  • The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
  • The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
  • I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).

Looks like we should add whitelist ${HOME}/.bogofilter.

Bogofilter is packaged differently on Debian(-based) distributions apparently. On Arch Linux it depends on Perl, has scripts in /usr/share/bogofilter and uses /etc/bogofilter/bogofilter.cf for configuration. Debian uses /etc/bogofilter.cf as far as I could determine.

@marek22k Can you test with the below please?

$ cat ~/.config/firejail/email-common.local
## bogofilter support
# Allow perl (blacklisted by disable-interpreters.inc)
include allow-perl.inc
whitelist ${HOME}/.bogofilter
whitelist /usr/share/bogofilter
private-etc bogofilter,bogofilter.cf

That works!

Thanks for confirming. I've opened #5810, so when that gets merged a future release will have it by default. Once that firejail release hits your OS you can remove the above from your email-common.local. Thanks for reporting!
