Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/vnstatd "write" access on /var/run.

Detailed Description:

[vnstatd has a permissive type (vnstatd_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by vnstatd. It is not expected that this access
is required by vnstatd 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.

Hash String generated from  catchall,vnstatd,vnstatd_t,var_run_t,dir,write
audit2allow suggests:

#============= vnstatd_t ==============
#!!!! The source type 'vnstatd_t' can write to a 'dir' of the following types:
# vnstatd_var_lib_t, var_lib_t, root_t

allow vnstatd_t var_run_t:dir { write add_name };
#!!!! The source type 'vnstatd_t' can write to a 'file' of the following types:
# vnstatd_var_lib_t, root_t

allow vnstatd_t var_run_t:file { read write create open };
