.New SCAP rule for idle session termination New SCAP rule `logind_session_timeout` has been added to the `scap-security-guide` package in ANSSI-BP-028 profiles for Enhanced and High levels. This rule uses a new feature of the `systemd` service manager and terminates idle user sessions after a certain time. This rule provides automatic configuration of a robust idle session termination mechanism which is required by multiple security policies. As a result, OpenSCAP can automatically check the security requirement related to terminating idle user sessions and, if necessary, remediate it.

Description Marek Haicman 2022-08-29 18:59:24 UTC
Description of problem:
New option is introduced in SystemD (See Bug 2122288). This option allows to set timeout for idle sessions globally, which can replace no longer available sshd session timeout mechanism using ClientAliveCountMax.

For the reason, we need the rule covering it.

Usage seems to be configuration of logind.conf in a form:
[Login]
StopIdleSessionSec=<time>

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.63-4.el8


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at the list of rules
2.
3.

Actual results:
rule does not exist

Expected results:
rule exists

Merged into upstream: https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/10149

Comment 12 Michal Sekletar 2023-02-01 14:54:03 UTC
I am planning to backport the feature to RHEL-8.6 after resolving bug that was recently filed,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2158355

Hence do not rebase scap-security-guide in RHEL-8.6 before I push the update.

Comment 16 Watson Yuuma Sato 2023-02-07 07:29:34 UTC
The fix is available in Content release v0.1.66:
