[RFC] Some Considerations for Kernel Module Checks
by Mike Palmiotto 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

There was some discussion a while back about the proper method for doing kernel module checking. (see: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/scap-security-guide/2012-August/00…) The OVAL checks for disabling kernel modules are currently checking for `install [module] /bin/true`. I'm sure there is a reason for doing this as opposed to `install [module] /bin/false`. Just a shot in the dark: we want the install to fail and return as if a failure is expected? Would it make more sense to run /bin/false, as the actual install is failing to install? Additionally, it seems the checks are using a mixture of `install [module] /bin/true` and `alias [module] off`. Should these be made uniform, or is there a reason for the variation in method? Any and all insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks, --Mike

Here we have a fix for Ticket #49, the guidance now calls for using the "screen" package instead of "vlock" for console locking.

Legacy RHEL systems and SRR/SCAP
by Robert Sanders 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hello all, Just in time for the holidays, I figured I'd ask an end-of-the-year naïve question. What are people doing if older RHEL4 based systems are in production and need to be locked-down? Use the SRR (even though retired), the RHEL5 guidelines (understanding that 'things work different'), hope and pray? -Rob

It's time to branch & tag
by Shawn Wells 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

As we're now at a point where the project is about to submit "Informal Draft" content to DISA, it may be a good time to clean up our git branching/tagging model (err.. create one). My thoughts: (1) For every project within SSG, create a unique branch. Currently this would set us up as: MASTER |--- JBossEAP5 |--- RHEL6 (2) Each project is responsible for their own release tags. MASTER |--- JBossEAP5 |--- RHEL6 | |--- InformalDraft Comments?

[PATCH 0/3] adding check content to SRG output
by Jeffrey Blank 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

This should take care of presenting the "check text" related to satisfying SRG items that are accompanied by a presentation of evidence and assertion that they are met/unmeetable (versus those that contain actionable guidance for admins).

[PATCH 0/4] new transform to include SRG items alongside automated Rules
by Jeffrey Blank 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

This transform adds rows from an SRG mapping table to the STIG rules table, so that the resulting table includes information for every SRG item. It is incomplete: it still needs to grab the correct "check" text which describes how the RHEL product satisfies (or cannot satisfy) a particular SRG requirement. In some cases, this text still needs to be written. This can be resolved in short order through changes to the output in the SRG mapping table. Jeffrey Blank (4): added xhtml files to gitignore in output new transform to add items from an SRG mapping table to a Rule table added new Rules to create Rule table, including any SRG items not tied to specific configuration action fixed characters to escape ampersand RHEL6/Makefile | 4 ++- RHEL6/input/system/software/integrity.xml | 2 +- RHEL6/output/.gitignore | 1 + RHEL6/transforms/table-add-srgitems.xslt | 56 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 RHEL6/transforms/table-add-srgitems.xslt
