Summary:

SELinux is preventing the /bin/cp from using potentially mislabeled files
(vboxadd-Module.symvers).

Detailed Description:

[cp has a permissive type (initrc_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux has denied cp access to potentially mislabeled file(s)
(vboxadd-Module.symvers). This means that SELinux will not allow cp to use these
files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp
directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that
the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not
allowed to access.

Allowing Access:

If you want cp to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon
-v 'vboxadd-Module.symvers'. You might want to relabel the entire directory
using restorecon -R -v ''.
