AVC (access vector cache)

Also written: AVC message, audit.log, /var/log/audit/audit.log

The part of SELinux that makes access decisions. Every denial is written to /var/log/audit/audit.log as an AVC message showing the blocked action, the program, its source context (scontext) and the target's context (tcontext).
