[Bug 1372113] [NEW] flashplayer does not work due missing apparmor rule

[Jean-Louis Dupond]

Public bug reported:

I updated to Ubuntu 14.10 recently, and I noticed the flashplayer was
broken.

After some debugging, I noticed there were alot of the following messages in syslog:
kernel: [56384.537469] audit: type=1400 audit(1411163225.434:2596): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf" pid=10890 comm="plugin-containe" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

Now I simply added the following to the apparmor rules:
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf r,

And flash started to work perfectly after that.

Guess 99% of the firefox users have flashplayer installed, so I guess it
might be good to have the rule added?
