  • [BugFix] [RHEL/6] [RHEL/7] [Fedora] Modify 'standard' profiles to comment out the rules currently returning 'notapplicable' result (needs investigation of reasons why it's behaving so, and fixing the issues prior re-enabling them back)

Infrastructure:

  • [Fedora] Add Fedora 25 CPE to Fedora benchmark
  • [BugFix] [Infrastructure] add_cce_id_refs_to_oval_checks routine - When propagating CCE identifiers from XCCDF to specific OVAL verify particular CCE ID has correct form (either 'CCE-XXXX-X' or 'CCE-XXXXX-X') (Fixes #1228, #1229, #1230)
  • [BugFix] [Infrastructure] Verify if CCE identifiers listed in various SSG XCCDF benchmarks have the correct form (either 'CCE-XXXX-X' or 'CCE-XXXXX-X')
  • [BugFix] Use proper rule names in various RHEL/5, RHEL/6, RHEL/7, and RHEVM3 profiles
  • [Bugfix][Infrastructure] Print message for unused remediation scripts during build
  • [Enhancement] Don't rely on the absolute path of the remediation functions library when performing remediations (Instead of that transform necessary shell variables and remediation functions calls into corresponding XCCDF <sub> elements to be present directly in the benchmark, Fixes #590, Fixes #1055)
  • [Enhancement][Infrastructure] Remove Red Hat identifiers from derivatives
  • [Enhancement][Bugfix][Infrastructure] Update constants XSLT

  • [BugFix] [Infrastructure] Introduce $(SHARED)/$(OUT) directory
  • [Enhancement] [Infrastructure] Use "hidden" and "prohibitChanges" attributes set to "true" for xccdf:Values representing remediation routines

  • [BugFix] [Infrastructure] When performing XCCDF <sub> substitution expand also functions not having some arguments in the function call
  • [BugFix] [Infrastructure] If some of the remediation functions recursively calls another remediation function, we need to define also the called function
