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.

Fixed In Version: scap-security-guide-0.1.69-1.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.SCAP rules now correctly evaluate whether the `/var/log` and `/var/log/audit` partitions exist Previously, some SCAP rules relevant to the `/var/log` and `/var/log/audit` partitions were evaluated and remediated even when the appropriate disk partition did not exist. This affected the following rules: * `mount_option_var_log_audit_nodev` * `mount_option_var_log_audit_noexec` * `mount_option_var_log_audit_nosuid` * `mount_option_var_log_nodev` * `mount_option_var_log_noexec` * `mount_option_var_log_nosuid` As a consequence, these rules were evaluated and incorrectly reported as failing in the final report even when the directories `/var/log` or `/var/log/audit` were not mount points for individual partitions. This update adds an applicability check to determine whether `/var/log` or `/var/log/audit` are mount points for individual partitions. As a consequence, the rules are not evaluated in configurations when the directories are not mount points for individual partitions and the rules are marked as `notapplicable` in the final report.

Comment 6 Jan Černý 2023-05-09 12:29:33 UTC 
In upstream, a "mount" applicability platform has been introduced by https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/10431. This platform has been added to rules for /tmp and /var/tmp mount options. What remains to be done there is to add the "mount" platform to the rules concerning /var/log and /var/log/audit, and also possibly to all other similar rules where it would make sense, as suggested in https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/issues/10504.
Comment 7 Jan Černý 2023-07-04 10:52:01 UTC 
A PR that introduces mount platforms to other rules has been merged to upstream: https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/10794
