RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Using STIG. Validating OVAL results displays:

oval:mil.disa.fso.rhel11:obj:49004 - a var_ref has been supplied for the ind-defattern entity so a var_check should also be provided
...

It seems that OpenSCAP has exported results incorrectly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openscap-1.1.1-1.el7

How reproducible:
Reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wget http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/Documents/u_redhat_6_v1r5_stig_scap_1-1_benchmark.zip
2. unzip u_redhat_6_v1r5_stig_scap_1-1_benchmark.zip -d stig
3. oscap xccdf eval --profile MAC-1_Public --report stig-xccdf-results.html --results stig-xccdf-results.xml --oval-results --cpe stig/U_RedHat_6_V1R5_Benchmark-cpe-dictionary.xml stig/U_RedHat_6_V1R5_Benchmark-xccdf.xml stig/U_RedHat_6_V1R5_Benchmark-oval.xml
4. oscap oval validate-xml --results --schematron       U_RedHat_6_V1R5_Benchmark-oval.xml.result.xml

Actual results:
oval:mil.disa.fso.redhat.rhel6:obj:3184 - a var_ref has been supplied for the ind-def:pattern entity so a var_check should also be provided

Invalid OVAL Results content(5.8) in U_RedHat_6_V1R5_Benchmark-oval.xml.result.xml.
