Uninstall mcstrans Package
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The mcstransd daemon provides category label information
to client processes requesting information. The label translations are defined
in /etc/selinux/targeted/setrans.conf.
The mcstrans package can be removed with the following command:
$ sudo yum erase mcstrans
Rationale
Since this service is not used very often, disable it to reduce the amount of potentially vulnerable code running on the system.
