3.Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0/jre/bin/java
    from loading /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description
    The /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0/jre/bin/java application
    attempted to load /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp which requires text relocation.  This is
    a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission.
    Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission.  The
    http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html web page explains how to
    remove this requirement.  You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
    /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is
    fixed. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
    against this package.

Allowing Access
    If you trust /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp to run correctly, you can change the file
    context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp" You
    must also change the default file context files on the system in order to
    preserve them even on a full relabel.  "semanage fcontext -a -t
    textrel_shlib_t /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp"

    The following command will allow this access:
    chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /tmp/nbi-2129.tmp
