This module provides inventory and remediation for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Security Technical Implementation Guide.

Configuration

Classes

  • rhel_7_stig:enabled controls which hosts the policy and compliance report target. (centos_7|redhat_7) by default.
  • rhel_7_stig:enforced enables automatic remediation.
  • rhel_7_stig:DEBUG causes the policy to emit more details.

Variables

  • rhel_7_stig:exceptions.<canonified finding id> - Documents exception for <finding id> causing the class rhel_7_stig:<canonfied finding id>_exception to be defined which disables remediation in case rhel_7_stig:enforced is defined.

    For example, the following Augments documents the reason why there is an exception for tftp-server

      {
          "variables": {
              "rhel_7_stig.exceptions.V_204621": {
                  "value": "We host a firmware update service for legacy Modems that use TFTP for firmware updates"
              }
          }
      }

Inventory

  • RHEL 7 STIG findings - IDs of findings detected without documented exceptions
  • RHEL 7 STIG findings with exception - IDs of findings detected that have documented exceptions.
  • RHEL 7 STIG findings detail <finding id> - Useful details about findings. Not available for all findings.
