Package: iptables
Version: 1.4.21-2+b1
Severity: normal

type=AVC msg=audit(1443760532.924:27): avc:  denied  { read write } for  
pid=273 comm="modprobe" path="socket:[8859]" dev="sockfs" ino=8859

tcontext=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket 
permissive=0

When booting a SE Linux system in the "strict" configuration the above error is 
logged
on boot.  iptables needs to either close the file handle for the Unix domain 
socket
before executing modprobe or set it to close on exec.

While this is mostly a cosmetic error it has the potential for unexpected 
behavior on
a non-SE system if modprobe was to try to access that file handle.
