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:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, parts of the OpenSCAP code generating Ansible remediation playbooks contained typos in the path to the dconf database directory. As a consequence, remediation tasks failed with the "OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/etc/dconf/db/local/d'" error message. The typos have been fixed, and the Ansible remediation tasks by OpenSCAP-generated playbooks now succeed.

Description Shawn K. O'Shea 2018-06-19 14:15:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
When generating ansible remediation from openscap content, various dconf settings that should be written to /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings are attempting to be written to the incorrect path /etc/dconf/db/local/d/00-security-settings instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.36-9.el7.centos.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time running generated ansible.

Steps to Reproduce:
Generate Ansible for remediation, for example:
oscap xccdf generate fix --fix-type ansible --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa --output stig-rhel7-role.yml /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml

Then run the resulting ansible playbook.

Actual results:
Ansible playbook fails with:
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/etc/dconf/db/local/d'

Expected results:
Ansible task succeeds

Additional info:
This has already been fixed upstream. Commit dca8feafaa0b9044a0cec24c245eecaf8b7658ab [1]/ PR 2487 [2] fixes these typos.

These fixes were included in the 0.1.137 release of the SCAP Security Guide [3].

Comment 3 Josip Vilicic 2018-06-24 23:38:32 UTC 
Hello Engineering Team,

1) As of now, OpenSCAP remediation by generating Ansible Playbooks does not work correctly if it has this bug.

   The Red Hat customer in the case attached to this bug (who actually filed the bug) is asking if the fix for this bug, since it has already been fixed upstream, can be backported.

   Would a z-stream release be possible?


2) This is the same customer from:

   a) "Ansible remediation of default umask in login.defs sets incorrect value"
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1592957

   b) "Ansible remediation setting SELinux policy fails"
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1592970

Take care,

Jo Vilicic
