Considering how random this appears to be, I would have to turn full
auditing on for some time.   Plus they don't provide how to turn it back
off.

All I did was dnf install logwatch.  No customization.  Yet.

I see in /var/log/cron a daily cron activity for logwatch.

Do you have "man 8 logwatch_selinux"?  If not, google can
find it.

Don't have it.  tried:

ps -eZ | grep logwatch_t

as the man says, but it comes up empty.

 
https://launchpad.net/msmtp-scripts/+announcement/15310 says:
A packaging update has been released for EL7/Fedora that addresses
an issue with using logwatch with SELinux enabled and enforcing
and msmtp-scripts as MTA. It's not in the COPRs.

Just ran dnf update, and did not see anything new for logwatch or SELinux.  New kernel 5.15.12

Logwatch is still what I installed:

2021-11-14T15:04:02-0500 SUBDEBUG Installed: logwatch-7.5.6-2.fc35.noarch

SElinux was recently upgraded:

2021-12-26T08:31:55-0500 SUBDEBUG Upgrade: selinux-policy-35.7-1.fc35.noarch
2021-12-26T08:32:27-0500 SUBDEBUG Upgrade: selinux-policy-targeted-35.7-1.fc35.noarch

Which is what was running in the report I posted.

So either no update yet, or this updated does not impact my problem.
