RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alexander Todorov 2011-05-12 06:55:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
This morning after turning on my laptop I got a SELinux denial. 

Your system may be seriously compromised! /usr/sbin/NetworkManager tried to load
a kernel module.


node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1305182229.634:19): avc:  denied  { sys_module } for  pid=1644 comm="NetworkManager" capability=16  scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tclass=capability

node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1305182229.634:19): arch=40000003 syscall=54 success=no exit=-19 a0=d a1=8915 a2=bfea853c a3=bfea853c items=0 ppid=1 pid=1644 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="NetworkManager" exe="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager" subj=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 key=(null)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.8.1-5.el6_0.1.i686
selinux-policy-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch
kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system and log in into GNOME
2. I have a mobile 3G connection configured in NM. It is configured to connect automatically
3.
  
Actual results:
NM connected to the mobile network but I got this SELinux error.

Expected results:
No errors

Additional info:
I haven't seen this before and indeed when booting with kernel-2.6.32-71.24.1 there's no error. I remember updating the kernel package yesterday so it might be it.
