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 Marek Haicman 2018-09-16 21:24:42 UTC
Description of problem:
When security profile is selected during installation through anaconda, report of the hardening run exists in `/root/eval_remediate_report.html`. This report is full of `error` results that seemingly make no sense. This is tue to the way how service checking OVAL and remediations work. For check `service_XXX_enabled`, OVAL and remediation checks not only enablement, but also that the service is running.

As anaconda remediation runs in chroot, systemd won't allow checks of service runtime, resulting in fails. Fail after remediation is reported as error. This is but a display bug, though, as if you run the scan after reboot, these rules are passing.
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.40-5.el7

How reproducible:
reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install through anaconda (for example profile `stig-rhel7-disa`) 
2. open `/root/eval_remediate_report.html`
3.

Actual results:
Errors for basic checks like `rule_service_sshd_enabled`

Expected results:
No errors in general, but in this particular case no errors for service related rules.

Additional info:
This idea behind checking runtime as well is to make sure that service can run at all. To catch situation as such as service is enabled, but because of malformed configuration does not start.

Comment 2 Marek Haicman 2019-03-12 18:23:35 UTC
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.
