SELinux detected that sshd is writing to /usr/sbin/sshd (see the report below). This happened several times in the past, but not very regularly. I've checked the integrity of the installed RPMs on the system and was not able to find anything pointing to a rootkit.

Any idea what's going on here?

SELinux is preventing sshd from write access on the file /usr/sbin/sshd.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that sshd should be allowed write access on the sshd file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'sshd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-sshd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-sshd.pp
