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...
selinux-policy-3.0.8-62.fc8 should fix these. It can be safely ignored.
Closing.
