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:
Because of missing XCCDF rule checking whether auditd is installed, SCAP Security Guide cannot remediate it. This results in lots of failed rules after hardened installation.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.33-5.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
either:
1. install system with selection of pci-dss
2. open datastream in scap-workbench and search within content_group_auditing for rule checking installation of the auditd
3.

Actual results:
1. machine is failing all audit-related rules
2. no rule checking for installation of package

Expected results:
1. machine has no failing audit-related rules
2. rule is present there (and enabled) for pci-dss profile

Additional info:

Update: audit is installed by default, so the 1) scenario in description is not caused by this.

Reason for 1) scenario is discussed in Bug 1465402

Remark: This outstanding issue of this BZ is about making sure that the "audit is installed" rule is selected in the RHEL SSG content.

I see it as the feature of the build system - when checking configuration of package XXX, build system should ensure/check the package is actually needed by the profile.

This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
