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:
CIS RHEL 9 Benchmark 1.0.0 PDF states that network related changes should be monitored and then lists /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network, and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

scap-security-guide-0.1.66-1.el9_1 only creates the following:

# cat /etc/audit/rules.d/audit_rules_networkconfig_modification.rules
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S sethostname -S setdomainname -F key=audit_rules_networkconfig_modification
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S sethostname -S setdomainname -F key=audit_rules_networkconfig_modification
-w /etc/issue -p wa -k audit_rules_networkconfig_modification
-w /etc/issue.net -p wa -k audit_rules_networkconfig_modification
-w /etc/hosts -p wa -k audit_rules_networkconfig_modification
-w /etc/sysconfig/network -p wa -k audit_rules_networkconfig_modification

This is missing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and it also does not cover typical network configuration changes on RHEL 9 which are in /etc/NetworkManager. Adding /etc/hostname might also be considered being a related configuration.

It looks like at least for CIS oscap should add at least /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and /etc/NetworkManager for monitoring, perhaps also /etc/hostname. Thanks.

Hello Marko,
thank you for the suggestion. We can add the rule auditing access to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
Other paths you suggest definitely make sense, but we should probably talk to CIS community and suggest those new rules first before we include them in our CIS profiles.

This BZ will be migrated to the RHEL project in Red Hat Jira [1].
This means that this very BZ will be closed, and any further progress will be discussed in the new issue seamlessly. The link of the migrated issue should appear here later.
Contact matyc in case of any problems associated with the migration.
