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.

Fixed In Version: scap-security-guide-0.1.36-2.el7
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
*OpenSCAP* can be now integrated into Ansible workflows With this update, the *OpenSCAP* scanner can generate remediation scripts in the form of Ansible Playbooks, either based on profiles or based on scan results. Playbooks based on SCAP Security Guide Profiles contain fixes for all rules, and playbooks based on scan results contain only fixes for rules that fail during an evaluation. The user can also generate a playbook from a tailored Profile, or customize it directly by editing the values in the playbook. Tags, such as Rule ID, strategy, complexity, disruption, or references, used as metadata for tasks in playbooks serve to filter, which tasks to apply.

Description Martin Preisler 2016-12-13 20:24:08 UTC
Description of problem:
In use-cases where ansible is used to manage configuration of machines it is difficult to start using openscap to remediate and put the machine in compliance. The bash remediations will work fine and temporarily put the machine in compliance but then ansible playbooks will be run and the machine will be set back.

The solution is to change the ansible playbooks according to results of the scan. That way we can run oscap scan, get the ARF, generate Ansible playbook snippet and then change the playbook currently in use according to the snippet.

To do that, SCAP Security Guide needs to provide Ansible remediations next to the bash remediations.

Comment 1 Martin Preisler 2017-03-02 15:36:17 UTC
First part of the fix is upstream: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/pull/1731

Needs more work before all rules have ansible coverage. The work is extensive so moving to RHEL 7.5. RHEL 7.4 will most likely have this partially fixed.
