Still happens with selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-102.el7_3.7.noarch and
subscription-manager-1.17.15-1.el7.x86_64:

type=AVC msg=audit(1485888866.444:1569873): avc:  denied  { kill } for  pid=25514 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" capability=5  scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tclass=capability

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2017-02-01 11:10:08 UTC
Based on the time (Tue, 31 Jan 2017 19:54:38 +0100 (CET)), there is a match
in the /var/log/rhsm/rhsmcertd.log file:

Tue Jan 31 11:54:26 2017 [INFO] (Cert Check) Certificates updated.
Tue Jan 31 15:53:04 2017 [INFO] (Auto-attach) Certificates updated.

Wed Feb  1 07:54:28 2017 [INFO] (Cert Check) Certificates updated.
Wed Feb  1 11:54:26 2017 [INFO] (Cert Check) Certificates updated.

Conclusion: RHSM internal routine triggers this (as assumed before).

Comment 9 Robert Scheck 2018-01-10 13:18:38 UTC
Okay, when will selinux-policy-3.13.1-175.el7 be made available? This issue
exists now for 1+ year...I even had to figure out via Google that I already 
reported the issue when receiving this AVC message for a new host :-(
