Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/ifconfig access to a leaked /proc/mtrr file descriptor. Detailed Description: [ip has a permissive type (ifconfig_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the ifconfig command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or ifconfig output was redirected to a file it is not allowed to access. Leaks usually can be ignored since SELinux is just closing the leak and reporting the error. The application does not use the descriptor, so it will run properly. If this is a redirection, you will not get output in the /proc/mtrr. You should generate a bugzilla on selinux-policy, and it will get routed to the appropriate package. You can safely ignore this avc. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Additional Information: Source Context

I was trying to add a new bridged network interface via virt-manager. To reproduce, just go to the host details in virt-manager and try and add a bridged network.
libvirt is leaking.
Should be fixed with latest netcf *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 571573 ***
