SE Linux denial iptables-restor

[Thaidog]

I'm getting the following denial when I start up sshd or restart iptables... etc:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing iptables-restor (iptables_t) "read write" unconfined_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by iptables-restor. It is not expected that this
access is required by iptables-restor and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

I am not sure but my guess is that this is caused by a leaked file descriptor (bug). In any case please consider reporting this issue to bugzilla.redhat.com in the selinux-policy component.

To allow this access:

echo "avc:  denied  { read write } for  pid=12122 comm="iptables-restor" path="socket:[10050]" dev=sockfs ino=10050 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket" | audit2allow -M myiptables; sudo /usr/sbin/semodule -i myiptables.pp
