It looks like a file name was specified incorrectly in an RPM package. But it looks like the system auto-corrected the error by “escaping” (translating) the invalid * character to a valid \x2a character sequence. It’s probably fine. But it might be worth reporting to Red Hat’s bugzilla so someone knows that it should be fixed.
