Description maurizio 2011-12-01 19:39:27 UTC
Summary:

Your system may be seriously compromised! iwconfig tried to load a kernel
module.

Detailed Description:

SELinux has prevented iwconfig from loading a kernel module. All confined
programs that need to load kernel modules should have already had policy written
for them. If a compromised application tries to modify the kernel this AVC will
be generated. This is a serious issue. Your system may very well be compromised.

Allowing Access:

Contact your security administrator and report this issue.
