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 Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The SCAP `enable_fips_mode` rule now checks only `fips=1` on 64-bit IBM Z architecture Previously, the SCAP Security Guide rule `enable_fips_mode` did check the contents of the `/boot/grub2/grubenv` file. Consequently, the 64-bit IBM Z architecture did not use `/boot/grub2/grubenv` file for FIPS mode. With this update, the OVAL rule `enable_fips_mode` now test if argument `fips=1` for Linux kernel is present in `/boot/loader/entries/.*.conf` file on 64-bit IBM Z architecture.

Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2022-09-22 14:00:32 UTC 
Description of problem:

When provisioning system with org_fedora_oscap addon and ospp profile, and then checking with oscap xccdf eval, the enable_fips_mode rule fails but only on s390x.

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

scap-security-guide-0.1.63-1.el8_6.noarch

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the latest RHEL 8.6 compose with fips=1 parameter.
2. yum install -y /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml
3. oscap xccdf eval --remediate --rule xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_enable_fips_mode --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ospp /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml

Actual results:

# oscap xccdf eval --remediate --rule xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_enable_fips_mode --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ospp /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml

Ident   CCE-80942-6

Additional info:

The expected result is from latest RHEL 8.6 x86_64, and also from RHEL 8.6 GA s390x with scap-security-guide-0.1.60-7.el8.

On that latest RHEL 8.6 s390x where the remediation resulted in Error, when scap-security-guide gets downgraded to that previous scap-security-guide-0.1.60-7.el8, oscap xccdf eval suddently passes.
Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2022-09-22 16:16:10 UTC 
I believe the problem comes from oval:ssg-test_grubenv_fips_mode:tst:1 which should not be present for non-grub environments like s390x.
