The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Souhrn:

Your system may be seriously compromised! /usr/sbin/ntpd attempted to mmap low
kernel memory.

Podrobný popis:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux has denied the ntpd the ability to mmap low area of the kernel address
space. The ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by
/proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr. Preventing such mappings helps protect against
exploiting null deref bugs in the kernel. All applications that need this access
should have already had policy written for them. If a compromised application
tries modify the kernel this AVC would be generated. This is a serious issue.
Your system may very well be compromised.
