The most recent yum update changed, and I have no
clue what this is. Obtained from the system logs.

I get:
sealert -l 3f210834-3d3f-4247-a909-cd1219519138
==========================================
Summary:

SELinux is preventing pidof (hotplug_t) "ptrace" to <Unknown> (hotplug_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by pidof. It is not expected that this
access is
required by pidof 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://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended.

Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
