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-2017:2064 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE scap-security-guide bug fix and enhancement update 2017-08-01 16:05:50 UTC

Description Marek Haicman 2016-08-30 13:04:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
When checking hashes of installed files, changes to the documentation is not taken into account, even though it might be also dangerous, and more importantly - there shouldn't be a reason to alter distributed documentation files. (Or is there?)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.30-3.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. append something to the scap-workbench user manual
2. run rpm_verify_hashes rule [is for example part of pci_dss profile
(and for comparison)
3. rpm -Va | grep '^..5'

Actual results:
Output of 3. mentions user manual.
Report produced by oscap does not mention it, and possibly passes

Expected results:
Output of 3. mentions user manual.
Report produced by oscap does point out modified user manual, and rule fails.

Verified for version scap-security-guide-0.1.33-5.el7.noarch
Verification performed using SSG Test Suite

ERROR - Rule result should have been "fixed", but is "fail"!

Note: ERROR in NEW phase is artefact of SSG Test Suite rough edges - it expects remediation, but for this rule there no remediation is available. It failed initial scan as expected, though.
