Description shane 2010-12-23 04:43:27 UTC
SELinux is preventing /bin/dmesg from 'read' accesses on the file /proc/version.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that dmesg should be allowed read access on the version 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 /bin/dmesg /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
