I get two denials from selinux

Summary:

SELinux is preventing nspluginscan from making the
program stack executable.

Detailed Description:

The nspluginscan application attempted to make its
stack executable. This is a
potential security problem. This should never ever be
necessary. Stack memory is
not executable on most OSes these days and this will
not change. Executable
stack memory is one of the biggest security problems.
An execstack error might
in fact be most likely raised by malicious code.
Applications are sometimes
coded incorrectly and request this permission. The
SELinux Memory Protection
Tests
(http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html)
web page explains how
to remove this requirement. If nspluginscan does not
work and you need it to
work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
this access until the
application is fixed. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes a library is accidentally marked with the
execstack flag, if you find
a library with this flag you can clear it with the
execstack -c LIBRARY_PATH.
Then retry your application. If the app continues to
not work, you can turn the
flag back on with execstack -s LIBRARY_PATH.
Otherwise, if you trust
nspluginscan to run correctly, you can change the
context of the executable to
unconfined_execmem_exec_t. "chcon -t
unconfined_execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/nspluginscan'" You must also change the
default file context files on
the system in order to preserve them even on a full
relabel. "semanage fcontext
-a -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/nspluginscan'"

The following command will allow this access:

chcon -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/nspluginscan'

Summary:

SELinux is preventing the 00-netreport
(NetworkManager_t) from executing ./init.

Detailed Description:

SELinux has denied the 00-netreport from executing
./init. If 00-netreport is
supposed to be able to execute ./init, this could be a
labeling problem. Most
confined domains are allowed to execute files labeled
bin_t. So you could change
the labeling on this file to bin_t and retry the
application. If this
00-netreport is not supposed to execute ./init, this
could signal a intrusion
attempt.

Allowing Access:

If you want to allow 00-netreport to execute ./init:
chcon -t bin_t './init' If
this fix works, please update the file context on
disk, with the following
command: semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t './init' Please
specify the full path to
the executable, Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this selinux-policy
to make sure this becomes the default labeling.
