Description of problem: We have a customer requiring to implement full STIG compliance, including xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_fapolicy_default_deny rule: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Title Configure Fapolicy Module to Employ a Deny-all, Permit-by-exception Policy to Allow the Execution of Authorized Software Programs. Rule xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_fapolicy_default_deny Ident CCE-86478-5 Result fail -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- On a system I installed with STIG profile selected at installation time, the rule fails, because there is no "deny perm=any all : all" in what we ship. It looks like a "final rule" is missing, e.g. /etc/fapolicyd/rules.d/99-deny-everything.rules: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- deny perm=any all : all -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): scap-security-guide-0.1.66-2.el8_7.noarch How reproducible: Always
Hello Renaud, I am not sure what you are asking for. Note that the rule xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_fapolicy_default_deny has no remediation, it performs only the check because we can't know which applications should be permitted. Do you suggest that the check should be altered? Or that the default shipped file should be altered?
Sorry for confusion, I'm asking for a new file /etc/fapolicyd/rules.d/99-deny-everything.rules being shipped, so that the rule doesn't fail by default.
