Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container from read, write access on the chr_file nvidiactl.

*****  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 device (12.1 confidence) suggests   ****************************

If you want to allow plugin-container to have read write access on the nvidiactl chr_file
Then you need to change the label on nvidiactl to a type of a similar device.
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE 'nvidiactl'
# restorecon -v 'nvidiactl'

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

If you believe that plugin-container should be allowed read write access on the nvidiactl chr_file 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 Miroslav Grepl 2015-10-12 12:31:34 UTC
What is a labeling for nvidiactl now on your system?

ls -lZ PATHTO/nvidiactl

We have  a rules which should cover it. I believe we should dontaudit it if a labeling is correct.

Comment 2 chanueting 2015-12-09 14:38:41 UTC
# ls -lZ /dev/nvidiactl
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 195, 255 Dec  9 21:39 /dev/nvidiactl
