Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/sudo "setuid" access . Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by sudo. It is not expected that this access is required by sudo 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.

A confined user_t user is not allowed to run the sudo command, if you want to run sudo you need to change to the staff_t user.
