Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Doesn't specify a particular version of RHEL 8 or of the document.
It's important when we do our own documentation that we're able to give clear references to particular versions of vendor documentation.

Comment 2 Mirek Jahoda 2023-06-29 19:35:20 UTC

Thank you for your report.

The RHEL product documentation is always valid for the latest GA version. Now, it means that the RHEL 8 Security hardening content applies to RHEL 8.8, and the RHEL 9 Security hardening document applies to RHEL 9.2. We document the changes between versions in the RHEL Release notes documents. And if there are significant differences in procedure steps, we usually add explicit notes about the differences. Given our capacity and also our publication toolchain, it is not possible to create and maintain the product documentation for every minor release.
