Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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:


From StigViewer, RHEL-08-010130 is supposed to apply on the content of /etc/login.defs.
The implementation is indeed matching, as shown below:

~~~
./linux_os/guide/system/accounts/accounts-pam/set_password_hashing_algorithm/set_password_hashing_min_rounds_logindefs/rule.yml

stigid@rhel8: RHEL-08-010130
./products/rhel8/profiles/stig.profile
~~~

# RHEL-08-010130
- set_password_hashing_min_rounds_logindefs

However other STIG files we have reference another rule applying to pam_unix instead (accounts_password_pam_unix_rounds_password_auth):

~~~
./controls/stig_rhel8.yml

-   id: RHEL-08-010130
    levels:
        - medium
    title: The RHEL 8 password-auth file must be configured to use a sufficient number
        of hashing rounds.
    rules:
        - accounts_password_pam_unix_rounds_password_auth
    status: automated
./linux_os/guide/system/accounts/accounts-restrictions/password_storage/accounts_password_pam_unix_rounds_password_auth/rule.yml:

Hello Rajesh,
it is true that the rule accounts_password_pam_unix_rounds_password_auth is placed into the stig_rhel8.yml control file. However, this control file exists in upstream, but it is not used by any product.
The STIG profile for RHEL8 can be found in products/rhel8/profiles/stig.profile.
The rule is part of ANSSI profiles.
So yes, the rule is in the datastream, but it is not part of the STIG profile for RHEL8.
Does this explanation solve the problem?

The file controls/stig_rhel8.yml has been dropped from the content to prevent confusion:
https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/10023
