SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/vbetool from 'mmap_zero' accesses on the memprotect Unknown. ***** Plugin mmap_zero (34.9 confidence) suggests ************************** If you do not think /usr/sbin/vbetool should need to mmap low memory in the kernel. Then you may be under attack by a hacker, this is a very dangerous access. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue. ***** Plugin vbetool (34.9 confidence) suggests **************************** If you want to ignore this AVC because it is dangerous and your machine seems to be working correctly. Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the vbetool_mmap_zero_ignore boolean. Do # setsebool -P vbetool_mmap_zero_ignore 1 ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (28.0 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr. Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mmap_low_allowed' boolean. Do setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1 ***** Plugin catchall (3.94 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that vbetool should be allowed mmap_zero access on the Unknown memprotect by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep vbetool /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects Unknown [ memprotect ] Source vbetool Source Path /usr/sbin/vbetool Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages vbetool-1.2.2-1.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-35.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 29 18:46:53 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen Thu 11 Aug 2011 05:15:34 PM CEST Last Seen Thu 11 Aug 2011 05:16:02 PM CEST Local ID 2b7fba07-d27e-495a-bf4b-b7584e3dae70 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1313075762.379:100): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=8716 comm="vbetool" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1313075762.379:100): arch=x86_64 syscall=mmap success=no exit=EACCES a0=f000 a1=502 a2=7 a3=11 items=0 ppid=5272 pid=8716 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=vbetool exe=/usr/sbin/vbetool subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: vbetool,vbetool_t,vbetool_t,memprotect,mmap_zero audit2allow #============= vbetool_t ============== #!!!!

Probably best solution is to yum remove vbetool You probably do not need it. Otherwise the alert tells you what you can do.
