It's an SELinux problem. It prevents the prelink command from returning
a hash value. I've already logged this with redhat (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209951 )

If you want to disable the MD5 checks then use the '--dmc' command-line
option. Alternatively, you can disable SELinux using 'setenforce 0'
before running RKH if you want to, and then re-enable it using
'setenforce 1' (not ideal of course!)

The problem has a workaround in CVS, however a lot of work is still
going on with rkhunter so CVS may become unreliable.

Hopefully redhat will get an SELinux update out soon to resolve this.
