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 Thorsten Scherf 2018-12-22 13:12:27 UTC
Description of problem:
The rule ' <Rule id="xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_display_login_attempts" selected="false" severity="low">' contains a faulty remediation script:

"""   
<fix id="display_login_attempts" system="urn:xccdf:fix:script:sh">       sed -i --follow-symlinks "/pam_lastlog.so/d" /etc/pam.d/postlogin
fi

echo "session     [default=1]   pam_lastlog.so nowtmp showfailed" &gt;&gt; /etc/pam.d/postlogin
echo "session     optional      pam_lastlog.so silent noupdate showfailed" &gt;&gt; /etc/pam.d/postlogin
</fix>
"""

It should read like this instead:

<fix id="display_login_attempts" system="urn:xccdf:fix:script:sh">
if ! `grep -q ^[^#].*pam_succeed_if.*showfailed /etc/pam.d/postlogin` ; then
  if ! grep `^session.*pam_succeed_if.so /etc/pam.d/postlogin` ; then
    echo "session     [default=1]   pam_lastlog.so nowtmp showfailed" &gt;&gt; /etc/pam.d/postlogin
    echo "session     optional      pam_lastlog.so silent noupdate showfailed" &gt;&gt; /etc/pam.d/postlogin
  else
    sed -i '/^session.*pam_succeed_if.so/a session\t    optional\t  pam_lastlog.so silent noupdate showfailed' /etc/pam.d/postlogin
    sed -i '/^session.*pam_succeed_if.so/a session\t    [default=1]\t  pam_lastlog.so nowtmp showfailed' /etc/pam.d/postlogin
  fi
</fix>

Hello, 

The the mentioned fix script was updated to be simpler in https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/2745.

The issue though, is that the new fix script was being corrupted by an infrastructure bug, fixed in commit: https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/3217/commits/98930e7ae9a4c45089918016bbc9340f6cd6683b

Comment 4 Jan Černý 2019-03-07 08:52:39 UTC
Granting devel ack because it's fixed by rebase to 0.1.43.
