Description Don Zickus 2009-10-06 14:35:27 UTC
The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Summary:

Your system may be seriously compromised! /bin/dbus-daemon attempted to mmap low
kernel memory.

Detailed Description:

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

SELinux has denied the dbus-daemon 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.

Allowing Access:

Contact your security administrator and report this issue.
