Description vharyan 2023-03-15 17:38:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
system account with uid >= 1000 is badly detected as user interactive account


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.66-2.el8_7.noarch


Actual results:

in RHEL8's one, the check for "interactive users" relies only on DEFAULT_UID_MIN which is hardcoded to 1000.

But with Upstream code , it relies on both DEFAULT_UID_MIN but also shell being /sbin/nologin, additionally DEFAULT_UID_MIN is computed from the system's settings.


Expected results:

Openscap scan should consider DEFAULT_UID_MIN aswell as /sbin/nologin
Comment 1 Renaud Métrich 2023-03-16 07:50:46 UTC 
This is an issue for customers having service accounts with UID >= 1000.

Would it be possible to rebase RHEL8's scap-security-guide against Upstream one?
Or at least backport the create_interactive_users_list_object() macro (see shared/macros/10-oval.jinja)?
