Rule version ALMA-09-042040 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-25

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

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

The policycoreutils package can be installed with the following command:

$ dnf install policycoreutils
