Thanks for the report. This should be fixed with this commit: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=openscap.git;a=commit;h=ddce2a4c0190ff72d51f1489612cfe7be710f04e The item should probably represent the link itself, though. The fix works for me as you've stated, collecting the link itself. Regarding link itself vs target, some traffic on the oval-developers list suggests that the OVAL recurse symlinks behavior is expected to dereference symlinks. If it should not, I'd encourage discussing the reasoning on the list, to benefit the OVAL community. Thread: http://oval.mitre.org/community/archives.html#nabble-td6158009 Thanks! This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: OVAL does not collect items for symlink targets. How reproducible: Collect something like this: <file_object id="oval:com.example.unix:obj:1" version="1" comment="afile"> <behaviors recurse_direction="down" recurse="symlinks"> <path>/etc</path> <filename>grub.conf</filename> </file_object> System state: [root@pine oval]# ls -l /etc/grub.conf lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 22 Jul 17 2009 /etc/grub.conf -> ../boot/grub/grub.conf [root@pine oval]# ls -lL /etc/grub.conf -rw-------. 1 root root 1488 Feb 12 09:52 /etc/grub.conf Actual results: Object does not exist. Expected results: Collect item representing link target.
