Check Text ( C-9056r357389_chk )
To check for unlabeled device files, run the following command: # ls -RZ /dev | grep unlabeled_t It should produce no output in a well-configured system. If there is output, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-9056r357390_fix)
Device files, which are used for communication with important system resources, should be labeled with proper SELinux types. If any device files carry the SELinux type "unlabeled_t", investigate the cause and correct the file's context.
