Description Milan Lysonek 2021-06-03 11:39:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
The dconf_gnome_login_retries rule results in error during remediation. The dconf_gnome_login_retries remediation breaks dconf configuration file - /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings.
With the broken dconf configuration file, it is not possible to remediate the dconf_db_up_to_date rule.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.54-3.el7_9.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. oscap xccdf eval --profile ncp --remediate --report report_1.html /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml
2. oscap xccdf eval --profile ncp --remediate --report report_2.html /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml

Actual results:
dconf_gnome_login_retries results in error during both remediations
dconf_db_up_to_date results in error during second remediation run

Expected results:
Both rules pass in both remediation runs

Additional info:
dconf rules are evaluated only on machines installed with GUI packages.

Both rules are only in NCP profile for rhel7.

Both rules show same error message:
unable compile /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d: /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings: [org/gnome/login-screen]: allowed-failures3gdm.d: invalid value: 00-security-settings (2-3:invalid character in number)

Problematic line from /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings:
allowed-failures3gdm.d=00-security-settings
