Description Daniel 2016-01-15 07:27:27 UTC 
Description of problem: After last bash and kernel update (bash, 4.3.42-3.fc23/kernel 4.2.8-300.fc23 - maybe it's a bash or kernel bug) no cron job will be started anymore if selinux is enforced. This happened on a server which updates itself automaticly and worked untill Jan 13, 2016 normally.

There are a lot of error messages now, like:

nauthorized SELinux context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 file_context=unconfined_u:object_r:user_cron_spool_t:s0 (/var/spool/cron/root)
 FAILED (loading cron table)

SELinux must be set to permissable if any cron jobs should be executed.
No changes whatsoever were made to the system but the 2 updates of kernel and bash. System worked absolutely until Jan 13, 2016. Only update since then was bash and kernel, x86_64, 4.2.8-300.fc23.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash, x86_64, 4.3.42-3.fc23 and kernel, x86_64, 4.2.8-300.fc23
