Description of problem:
SELinux denied access requested by load_policy. It is not expected that this access is required by load_policy 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.

This looks like load_policy was being executed by an rpm post install.  Did this AVC happen within an update?


What package were you using to update your system?

You can safely ignore the AVC.
