Description of problem:

In the ISM openscap benchmark xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ism_o, the rule "Ensure auditd Collects Information on Kernel Module Loading and Unloading" (xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_audit_rules_kernel_module_loading) describes the remediation as:

~~~
-a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S init_module,finit_module,delete_module -F key=modules
~~~

This is incorrect, the actual remediation is:

~~~
 -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S init_module,delete_module,finit_module -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -F key=modules
 -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S init_module,delete_module,finit_module -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -F key=modules
~~~

Note, --remediate option correctly implements the fix.  This is an error for the report generated.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.66-1.el9_1


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a security scan
~~~
sudo oscap xccdf eval --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ism_o --report ~/scan-report.html /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel9-ds.xml
~~~

2. Open up 'scan-report.html', click on the link 'Record Information on Kernel Modules Loading and Unloading 1x fail'

Actual results:

~~~
Description	

To capture kernel module loading and unloading events, use following lines, setting ARCH to either b32 for 32-bit system, or having two lines for both b32 and b64 in case your system is 64-bit:
  -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S init_module,finit_module,delete_module -F key=modules

The place to add the lines depends on a way auditd daemon is configured. If it is configured to use the augenrules program (the default), add the lines to a file with suffix .rules in the directory /etc/audit/rules.d. If the auditd daemon is configured to use the auditctl utility, add the lines to file /etc/audit/audit.rules.

Expected results:

Something similar to,
