Summary:

SELinux is preventing modprobe "write" access to to a leaked file descriptor on
/tmp/firstbootX.log

Detailed Description:

[modprobe has a permissive type (insmod_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by the modprobe command. It looks like this is
either a leaked descriptor or modprobe output was redirected to a file it is not
allowed to access. Leaks usually can be ignored since SELinux is just closing
the leak and reporting the error. The application does not use the descriptor,
so it will run properly. If this is a redirection, you will not get output in
the /tmp/firstbootX.log. You should generate a bugzilla on selinux-policy, and
it will get routed to the appropriate package. You can safely ignore this avc.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385)

#============= insmod_t ==============
allow insmod_t firstboot_t:unix_stream_socket { read write };
allow insmod_t tmp_t:file write;
