[Bug 662918] [NEW] apparmor blocks mmap of files in /tmp (needed for playing multimedia)

[Jamie Strandboge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Navigating to 'file:///tmp/qrt-test-browser/data/rfbproxy-jaunty.avi'
results in the following AppArmor denial, when the profile is enabled:

[ 4053.034987] type=1400 audit(1287432637.563:53): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="file_mmap" parent=1
profile="/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.11/firefox-*bin"
name="/tmp/orcexec.orc_merge_linear_u8.ZSm7pR" pid=6072
comm="vqueue:src" requested_mask="m" denied_mask="m" fsuid=1000
ouid=1000

This presumably has something to do with OOP, and can be fixed with the following:
  owner /tmp/** m,
  owner /var/tmp/** m,
