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.

Doc Text:
.SCAP Security Guide now provides a profile aligned with the CIS RHEL 8 Benchmark v1.0.0 With this update, the `scap-security-guide` packages provide a profile aligned with the CIS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Benchmark v1.0.0. The profile enables you to harden the configuration of the system using the guidelines by the Center for Internet Security (CIS). As a result, you can configure and automate compliance of your RHEL 8 systems with CIS by using the CIS Ansible Playbook and the CIS SCAP profile. Note that the `rpm_verify_permissions` rule in the CIS profile does not work correctly.

Description Steffen Froemer 2019-10-11 08:07:59 UTC 
1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Provide C2S profile in OpenScap


3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Customers require the C2S security profile to setup their systems based on this security catalog. 

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
It's a security based requirement. Systems without this criteria, are not able to use in production.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
RHEL-8 systems should be able to use the C2S security profile during installation.


6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Select C2S profile during installation


7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
no

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
RHEL8 asap


9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
no


10. List any affected packages or components.
OpenScap, Anaconda


11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
yes
Comment 3 Marek Haicman 2020-03-26 13:06:39 UTC 
Hello Steffen, you are asking here for C2S profile, that is U.S. Government Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) baseline inspired by the Center for Internet Security baseline (CIS) (there are some deliberate differences). Is that really what you are asking for? Or it's the CIS you seek?
Comment 7 Marek Haicman 2020-04-30 13:57:09 UTC 
After double checking with the requestors we have realized that what is needed here is CIS profile, not C2S. (C2S is profile inspired by CIS but is not identical. It is also currently the only CIS alternative shipped with RHEL7, until Bug 1821633 gets fixed - that was the cause of confusion).

Changing topic of this BZ to CIS, to clear things up.
Comment 8 Marek Haicman 2020-04-30 14:05:50 UTC 
Steffen, just to make very clear what will be sufficient for the customers - they are interested in the hardening during installation. We have been getting a lot of request for Ansible coverage lately. As the installation hardening and ansible hardening are two different pieces of code, so to say, can you check if customers have any expectations about Ansible? Thanks!
Comment 9 Steffen Froemer 2020-05-04 04:44:07 UTC 
For my customers the hardening happen during installation already. There is no need of ansible for them. The priority is on availability of CIS profile during installation.
Comment 37 West Coile 2020-10-31 03:42:24 UTC 
For some US federal government users, the lack of the CIS/C2S profile on installation is hindering adoption of RHEL8. It would be great to see some movement on addressing this bug.
