Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/cups-pk-helper-mechanism "read" access on
/proc//cmdline.

Detailed Description:

[cups-pk-helper- has a permissive type (cupsd_config_t). This access was not
denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by cups-pk-helper-. It is not expected that this
access is required by cups-pk-helper- 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.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
