Description of problem: I am unable to tell you what happenned. Last thing I did on the fedora box was, that I was chatting with a co-worker in pidgin but had been idle for about a minute or so, then I heard a pop sound from the desktop and when I looked at the find bar, I saw the notification. I am not sure how long it was there. Yesterday I installed security patches and rebooted. Last Friday, I installed vlc for watching video clips from my family pictures.

Can you attach the output of # ausearch -m avc
Created attachment 605005 [details] Here is the requested output I am not sure this is related but, I think there might be a problem with my /tmp partition filling up. it has 140892 files from systemd-namespace. thanks,
ALso mailScanner is flooding my temp partition. I will clean it up.
Should have compressed the file. :^(
Jose If you run restorecon -R -v /var/spool Does that change any labels? You also have a process that is creating files in /tmp/MailScanner.WyIslz

SELinux is a labeling system, It puts labels on all files/directories and processes. If the labels are in correct SELinux will generate errors. restorecon is a command that will put files back to the default label. In this case you were getting lots of denials because of /var/spool being mislabeled. I also see lots of files being created in /tmp with the wrong label on them. Although I don't know how they are being mislabeled.
