SELinux is preventing X (xdm_xserver_t) "read write" to /SYSV00000000 (deleted) (rpm_tmpfs_t)

Description of problem: Summary SELinux is preventing X (xdm_xserver_t) "read write" to /SYSV00000000 (deleted) (rpm_tmpfs_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by X. It is not expected that this access is required by X 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. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for /SYSV00000000 (deleted), restorecon -v /SYSV00000000 (deleted) If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

Could you please give some information on what you were doing when this happened? Also, I assume this happened in rawhide and not actually FC6Test3? Also, please put useful summaries in bug reports - it makes things a lot harder when we can't tell what a bug is about from the summary.
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.0.8-24
Bulk closing all bugs in Fedora updates in the modified state. If you bug is not fixed, please reopen.
