2.6.24 (and recent 2.6.23 kernels) need the following patch to avoid
spurious SELinux denials for files in /proc. It's been sent to Linus &
stable folk, but may take a few days to be merged due to LCA. I suggest
applying this to rawhide asap.

selinux: fix labeling of /proc/net inodes
The proc net rewrite had a side effect on selinux, leading it to mislabel
the /proc/net inodes, thereby leading to incorrect denials. Fix
security_genfs_sid to ignore extra leading / characters in the path supplied
by selinux_proc_get_sid since we now get "//net/..." rather than "/net/...".
