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 Steve Grubb 2017-07-28 21:53:46 UTC
Description of problem:
The audit package needs to be rebased to pick up various bug fixes, support kernel work, and to add a few new capabilities.

Bugs that are currently fixed and need picked up:
* Auparse python bindings had numerous issues: returns codes not right, add bindings for auparse_nomalize_subject_kind, AUSOURCE_DESCRIPTOR data source was not working (important for audisp plugin use), 
* Auparse had issues with: doing unnecessary euid check, and some adjustments in auparse_normalize
* aureport was missing anom_abend & seccomp events in anomaly report, it was also not reporting the auid in the login report
* Auditd would not start if a domain name could not be verified for mail delivery, this needed to be optional in case the DNS entry had no A record. The umask was not being restored after creating a log file. Auditd was making audispd exit when it was in enriched mode and client machines were in raw mode. Audispd saw malformed records.

Items scheduled to round out the audit system:
* Auparse_normalizer adjustments to support kernel events missing expected fields.
* Ausearch text mode output adjustments for clarity
* Support for new FANOTIFY Auxiliary record
* Fix remote logging protocol bug where they won't reconnect
* Work up individual queues for audisp plugins so one slow plugin can't backup auditd queues.
* Fix both bz filed against auvirt
* Work on non-equality comparisons for ausearch API of auparse.
* Plus bugs reported as people start to use the new audit enhancements for 7.4.
