Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Install the "nss-tools" package to install command-line tools to manipulate the NSS certificate and key database.

Check Content

Verify that RHEL 9 has the nss-tools package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed nss-tools

Example output:

nss-tools.x86_64          3.71.0-7.el9

If the "nss-tools" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix Text
