Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/yelp "execmem" access on <Unknown>.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gnome-help. The current boolean settings do
not allow this access. If you have not setup gnome-help to require this access
this may signal an intrusion attempt. If you do intend this access you need to
change the booleans on this system to allow the access.

Allowing Access:

One of the following booleans is set incorrectly: allow_execstack, allow_execmem

Fix Command:

Choose one of the following to allow access:
Allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable. This should never,
ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could
indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla")
# setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
Allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as both executable and
writable, this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla")
# setsebool -P allow_execmem 1
