SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/skype from mmap_zero access on the memprotect Unknown.
***** Plugin mmap_zero (53.1 confidence) suggests **************************
If you do not think /usr/bin/skype 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 catchall_boolean (42.6 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 (5.76 confidence) suggests ***************************
If you believe that skype 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 skype /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
