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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:0846 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE scap-security-guide bug fix update 2016-05-10 22:42:59 UTC

Description Jan Lieskovsky 2015-08-10 10:40:01 UTC
Description of problem:

The SCAP Security Guide content for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 currently provides the following two Anaconda kickstart files:
* ssg-rhel6-usgcb-server-with-gui-ks.cfg (for the USGCB profile) and
* ssg-rhel6-stig-ks.cfg (for the DISA STIG profile)

The definition of these kickstart files currently uses git cloning of most-recent SSG repository content:
* https://github.com/iankko/scap-security-guide/blob/master/RHEL/6/kickstart/ssg-rhel6-usgcb-server-with-gui-ks.cfg#L173
* https://github.com/iankko/scap-security-guide/blob/master/RHEL/6/kickstart/ssg-rhel6-stig-ks.cfg#L378

rather than direct use of native scap-security-guide's RPM package content as provided within Red Hat Satellite's base channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 system.

The former motivation for this behaviour has been to get all the OVAL definitions and remediation scripts for USGCB and DISA STIG profiles for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 product (previously cloning the most recent SSG git repository copy was necessary because the native scap-security-guide RPM package included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 did not contain all the necessary definitions).

But from the time the aforementioned two kickstart files have been included in scap-security-guide RPM package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 the situation has changed (the necessary checks are already included in the scap-security-guide RPM package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6), and therefore it is safe to prefer use of native scap-security-guide RPM package in kickstart files too rather than to perform SSG upstream git repository copy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.21-3.el6.*

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use some of USGCB or DISA STIG kickstart SCAP Security Guide kickstart files for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 product when installing new RHEL-6 system,
2. After finishing the install perform oscap scan

Actual results:
The RHEL-6 system in question is validated using most recent SSG repository content (IOW the OVAL checks and remediations that weren't present in scap-security-guide-0.1.21 version yet are verified too).

Expected results:
The RHEL-6 system in question should be validated using native scap-security-guide RPM package version, shipped within Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 base channel.

Comment 3 Marek Haicman 2016-03-08 18:48:31 UTC
Verified the kickstart files shipped in version scap-security-guide-0.1.28-2.el6 [pci-dss, stig, usgcb] do remediation based on shipped content, instead of upstream git repository.
