Description Frank Daniel 2015-08-03 23:18:31 UTC
Description of problem:
Was trying to reinstall mysql
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container from using the 'dac_override' capabilities.

*****  Plugin mozplugger (87.7 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to use the plugin package
Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins.
Do
# setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

*****  Plugin dac_override (12.1 confidence) suggests   **********************

If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system
Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again.
Do

Turn on full auditing
# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w
Try to recreate AVC. Then execute
# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it, 
otherwise report as a bugzilla.

*****  Plugin catchall (1.66 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that plugin-container should have the dac_override capability 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

Comment 1 Vit Mojzis 2015-08-12 12:32:37 UTC
The error was most likely caused by running Firefox as root (it is strongly recommended against doing so - security risk). If running it as normal user doesn't help, turn on full auditing in order to get target path.
# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w
Try to recreate AVC. Then execute
# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
If you see PATH record, check ownership/permissions on the target directory and fix it.

Comment 2 Lukas Vrabec 2015-08-13 12:33:42 UTC
Closing as NOTABUG. If this show up again, please, re-open this issue.

Thank you Vit for analyze.
