Description Jan Černý 2023-07-04 07:46:46 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2219532 +++

Description of problem:
The systemdunitproperty probe fails to read information about some systemd units. A common example where this behavior exhibits is the nftables.service unit, which leads to a false positive result for the rule service_nftables_disabled.

For more context, please read https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/issues/10424.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "/CoreOS/scap-security-guide/Sanity/machine-hardening CIS Server Level 2"
2. See the output of the final scan (after reboot)


Actual results:
service_nftables_disabled fails after reboot

Expected results:
service_nftables_disabled passes after reboot
