Description of problem: I keep getting random time adverts which tell me that SELinux has prevented an access. The problem happens (I think) once a day, without me doing anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.3.1-55.fc9 How reproducible: I can't reproduce it. It happens randomly. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Access to a file is prevented. Expected results: A message keeps showing telling me that SELinux stopped and access. I get a long list of prevented accesses, which I can't delete because it's very long and floods the computer. Additional info: The problem is related with VirtualBox. Actually, the error message shows this: " SELinux is preventing tmpwatch (tmpreaper_t) "getattr" to /tmp/vbox.1/common/string/strformattype.c (usr_t). " "SELinux denied access requested by tmpwatch. It is not expected that this access is required by tmpwatch 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. "

Just remove the file/dir rm -rf /tmp/vbox.1 tmpreaper is not allowed to delete files on the file system with the label usr_t. This looks like a file/directory was moved to /tmp but the label was left usr_t. If you do not want to remove these files you can execute chcon -R -t tmp_t /tmp/vbox.1
