Auto ignition is basically oxidation of a substance without an ignition source. The energy of activation is reached to result in a liberation of heat (exothermic). That then leads to a chain of events leading to a fire hazard. It's easy to get auto ignition mixed up with flashpoint (flashpoint requires a source of ignition such as temperature input or flame source). In all, I haven't found any sources that describe the whole mechanism. Some say the formation of hyperoxidases from drying oils is one of the culprits.
