Comment 3 Petr Stodulka 2017-02-09 15:51:31 UTC
65 kB is not too much and it is easy fulfil that limit by some modules of Preupgrade Assistant on some machines. For now @amahdal found that he is not able to process whole assesment on RHEL-6 machines because of that error.

Comment 4 Jan Černý 2017-02-10 08:08:18 UTC
I confirm that this bug is reproducible even with the latest upstream.

Comment 6 Martin Preisler 2017-02-14 19:49:45 UTC
Upstream fix proposed: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/openscap/pull/680

Comment 12 Marek Haicman 2017-02-16 18:48:18 UTC
Verified the fix is present in version openscap-1.2.13-2.el6
