There is a NULL pointer dereference in this code. I've unpushed all new 
packages in Fedora. I would advise holding off on upgrading until I release 
audit-2.8.1. In the mean time, if anyone has spotted any other problem that 
should go into 2.8.1, please let me know. I should have a new release in a 
couple of hours.
