Rule firewalld_sshd_port_enabled fails after kickstart installation

[jan-cerny]

Description of problem:

Rule firewalld_sshd_port_enabled fails after kickstart installation of RHEL 9.4 with STIG profile and various other profiles.

First problem is that the rule doesn't have a kickstart remediation. This can be easily fixed by creating the kickstart remediation with the following file contents:

# platform = multi_platform_all
# reboot = false
# complexity = low
# strategy = configure
# disruption = low

firewall enable ssh

However, adding the kickstart remediation won't make the rule passing. I have experimentally verified that it won't.

The core problem is that the rule checks that all network interfaces have a zone set to public. The Bash remediation should set that. But, during the installation, the environment is probably different or the Bash remediation isn't executed because it checks if the services are run.

if test "$(stat -c %d:%i /)" != "$(stat -c %d:%i /proc/1/root/.)"; then
...
if systemctl is-active NetworkManager && systemctl is-active firewalld; then

SCAP Security Guide Version:

Operating System Version:

RHEL 9.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. build rhel9
2. generate kickstart using oscap xccdf generate fix --fix-type kickstart (using openscap-1.4.0)
3. use the generated kickstart for operating system installation of RHEL 9.4
4. on the installed machine run oscap xccdf eval --profile stig --results-arf arf.xml /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg-rhel9-ds.xml.

firewalld_sshd_port_enabled: fail

Expected Results:

firewalld_sshd_port_enabled: pass
