This is a badly labeled file. I have no idea how it got labeled root_t restorecon -R -v /var/log Should fix the labeling. That did it. But the incorrect labeling is still a mystery. I certainly did nothing I'm aware of to cause it. And I saw another report on fedora-selinux-list describing the same issue, so it's bound to recur. |
Description of problem: SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/logrotate. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/logrotate and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.
