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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1618 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE openscap bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:51:01 UTC

Description Peter Vrabec 2011-04-18 20:14:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
The currently shipped version of openscap support OVAL 5.6. We would like to extend support to OVAL 5.8. 

OVAL 5.8 introduce important linux/unix tests that are applicable to many security guidelines.
Comment 2 Steve Grubb 2011-04-19 12:32:21 UTC 
We need to meet the SCAP 1.1 specification: 
http://scap.nist.gov/revision/1.1/index.html

This means stepping up to OVAL 5.8 and adding support for OCIL 2.0. All the other standards are the same as SCAP 1.0.
Comment 3 Peter Vrabec 2011-05-10 07:54:15 UTC 
We can also provide SCAP content that reflects RHEL default configuration + hardening tips in this rebase.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2011-06-22 14:55:00 UTC 
Product Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal this
decision by reopening this request.
Comment 6 Steve Grubb 2011-06-22 15:13:35 UTC 
Reopening, the USGCB content is written for SCAP 1.1. We need to have the ability to at least scan our own system with content designed for our system.
Comment 7 Gunnar Hellekson 2011-06-22 16:10:39 UTC 
This rebase and support for both SCAP 1.1 and USGCB is important. It's not especially useful to carry the package at all otherwise.
Comment 14 Ondrej Moriš 2011-08-16 13:29:35 UTC 
Peter, the official list of changes for 5.8 is quite long [1]. I suppose that not all of them were implemented into openscap. Is it possible to list what has been done in openscap and what has not? You did it during OVAL support upgrade from 5.4 to 5.6 in RHEL6.1 [2] and it was very helpful and qa-friendly.

Comment 15 Peter Vrabec 2011-08-16 15:29:18 UTC 
Ondrej, please take a look at:

http://www.open-scap.org/page/Contribute. 

I believe all the changes relevant to our platform are on the list and most of them were already implemented.
