SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/skype from mmap_zero access on the

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

The alert tells you what you can do to allow it. The access is
dangerous, if it is really needed. Did skype actually work? Did you
report this bug to Skype?
