From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071030 Fedora/2.0.0.8-2.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.8

Description of problem:
Summary
    SELinux is preventing microcode_ctl (cpucontrol_t) "write" to pipe
    (unconfined_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by microcode_ctl. It is not expected that
    this access is required by microcode_ctl 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
    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.

Can you please install the latest selinux-policy and tell me if it will work
working? 

yum update selinux-policy

If it will not work, will you please specify how to reproduce this bug?

Thanks.

Andrea.

Added Daniel Walsh to CC list. Maybe he knows something...

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2007-12-03 01:36:23 UTC
selinux-policy-3.0.8-62.fc8 should fix these.

It can be safely ignored.

Comment 4 Andrea Musuruane 2007-12-03 10:29:37 UTC
