oops on reboot

[Arthur Dent]

I don't reboot my machine very often (about once per month after a "yum
update") but each time I do I now get the following AVC:

=============8<=========================================================
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/abrt-dump-oops from syslog_read access on
the system Unknown.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
***************************

If you believe that abrt-dump-oops should be allowed syslog_read access
on the Unknown system 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 abrt-dump-oops /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

audit2allow -R

Should I allow it?

Thanks in advance
