Linux – SELinux is preventing /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox from write access on which file

I keep getting the following error ever since upgrading to Chrome google-chrome-stable-42.0.2311.90-1.x86_64.

SELinux is preventing /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox from write
access on the file .

I have not installed any custom plugins or modified my Chrome settings. Various search on Google turns up bug reports being closed as not a bug, and instructions on how to bypass SELinux by applying custom policy.

The SELinux troubleshooter suggested the following:

SELinux is preventing /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox from write access on the file .

*****  Plugin chrome (98.5 confidence) suggests   ****************************

If you want to use the plugin package
Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Chrome plugins.
Do
# setsebool -P unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition 0

*****  Plugin catchall (2.46 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that chrome-sandbox should be allowed write access on the  file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep chrome-sandbox /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

I do not quite agree with the recommendation to turn off SELinux controls on Chrome Plugins. I also do not know what write access on file . means. Is it current folder of chrome-sandbox? I tried searching for the inode 52591, but could not find the file.

Can anyone explain what is the problem and how this issue can be resolved?
