Discussion

Policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required for basic operation of an SELinux-enabled system. These utilities include load_policy to load SELinux policies, setfile to label filesystems, newrole to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper context.

Check Content

Verify AlmaLinux OS 9 has the policycoreutils package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed policycoreutils

policycoreutils.x86_64    3.5-1.el9              @anaconda
                                           
If the "policycoreutils" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

The policycoreutils package can be installed with the following command:
 
$ dnf install policycoreutils
