Follow the first part of my orignal reply
You can try to use it by doing the following
MYSQLD.te is the attached file

   * Install selinux-policy-targeted-sources.
   * yum install selinux-policy-targeted-sources
   * cd /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy
   * cp MYSQLD.te domains/program/
   * make load
   * rpm -q -l mysql | restorecon -R -f -
   * service mysql restart
