I found this in googling.

binfmt_misc is a capability of the Linux kernel which allows arbitrary
executable file formats to be recognized and passed to certain user
space applications, such as emulators and virtual machines.

Are you running Wine maybe? virtualized windows box? It might explain this one.

What's the current state of your samba related booleans?

[root at phoenix binfmt_misc]# getsebool -a | grep samba
samba_create_home_dirs --> off
samba_domain_controller --> off
samba_enable_home_dirs --> off
samba_export_all_ro --> off
samba_export_all_rw --> off
samba_run_unconfined --> off
samba_share_fusefs --> off
samba_share_nfs --> off
use_samba_home_dirs --> off
virt_use_samba --> off
