Summary:

Your system may be seriously compromised!

Detailed Description:

SELinux has denied the vbetool the ability to mmap low area of the kernel
address space. The ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as
configured by /proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr. Preventing such mappings helps
protect against exploiting null deref bugs in the kernel. All applications that
need this access should have already had policy written for them. If a
compromised application tries modify the kernel this AVC would be generated.
This is a serious issue. Your system may very well be compromised.

Allowing Access:

Contact your security administrator and report this issue.
