Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/timeout from using the 'setpgid' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that timeout should be allowed setpgid access on processes labeled sosreport_t 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 timeout /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Hi, I cannot view the details of this bug, but can someone share what was the fix for this?

I'm seeing similar issue on my system as well.
