Summary:

SELinux prevented restorecon from reading from the urandom device.

Detailed Description:

[restorecon has a permissive type (setfiles_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux prevented restorecon from reading from the urandom device. This access
should be allowed for individual applications, but there are situations where
all applications require the access (for example, when ProPolice/SSP stack
smashing protection is used). Allowing this access may allow malicious
applications to drain the kernel entropy pool. This can compromise the ability
of some software that is dependent on high quality random numbers (e.g.,
ssh-keygen) to operate effectively. The risk of this type of attack is
relatively low.

Allowing Access:

Changing the "global_ssp" boolean to true will allow this access: "setsebool -P
global_ssp=1."

Fix Command:

setsebool -P global_ssp=1
