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 of problem:

Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2021-28950 tracks https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-28950 in fuse kernel module, making it show up on vulnerability assessment report.

Since FUSE is not part of RHEL 8 Common Criteria certification plan and the issue will be addresses only in RHEL 8.5 via rebase of fuse module to upstream 5.12 via bug 1949873, blacklisting the module in OSPP profile in RHEL 8.4 is a reasonable mitigation.

Please add a rule to OSPP profile in scap-security-guide in RHEL 8.4 to blacklist the fuse kernel module, using the standard blacklisting mechanism that the SCAP content uses.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

scap-security-guide-0.1.54-5.el8.noarch

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provision RHEL 8.4 system with kickstart addon like

%addon org_fedora_oscap
  content-type = scap-security-guide
  profile = ospp
%end

   or remediate the provisioned system with the ospp profile.
2. Try to load the fuse kernel module:
   # modprobe fuse
3. Check if the module got loaded:
   # lsmod | grep fuse

Actual results:

fuse                  151552  1

Expected results:

No output.

Additional info:

Since blacklisting the kernel module for the CVE is a mitigation and not general hardening, it should not be part of the SCAP profile.
