I think that the fix is possible to be beackported to rhel-7.9 because in the openscap-1.2.17 the problematic block of code is the same. However, the associated upstream test case will need to be changed from CTest to automake build system.

Comment 4 Jan Černý 2023-07-03 11:56:52 UTC

This issue happens in a downstream test scenario testing oscap-chroot which is an artificial test scenario. We are currently not aware of any impact of this problem on supported use cases on RHEL 7.

Comment 5 Jan Černý 2023-08-04 08:32:52 UTC

We currently don't plan to fix this bug. The reason is that it appears during a test scenario but it doesn't have impact on a supported uses case. If the bug will start impacting a real-world use-case or will have an impact on a customer, please reopen it with a detailed comment.
