Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
According to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sec-Making_Persistent_Changes_to_a_GRUB_2_Menu_Using_the_grubby_Tool.html

in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, /etc/grub2.cfg is symlink to the grub.cfg, whose location is architecture dependant. That means all occurences of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg [or typo-ed /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg] are pointing to the file which might be missing on architecture different to x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.30-3.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just grep over the datastream
2.
3.

Actual results:
/etc/grub2/grub.cfg and /etc/grub2/grub2.cfg are used there abundantly.

Expected results:
Only /etc/grub2.cfg is used for rules validation.

Additional info:
/boot/grub2/grub2.cfg typo was already fixed upstream: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/commit/0fdfbd268a5022ef19263f228f98754941317854

Fix proposed upstream: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/pull/1737

This won't be as easy to fix as I thought, moving back to NEW.

We could use realpath and figure out the final absolute path but removing the symlink may be an actual use-case and that would be broken after this change. Not clear how to proceed here.

This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
