file_permission_user_init_files_root is misaligned with DISA

[jan-cerny]

Description of problem:

On 2025-02-12, the daily productization run shows the following fails on RHEL 8.10:

• /scanning/disa-alignment/ansible/file_permission_user_init_files_root
• /scanning/disa-alignment/oscap/file_permission_user_init_files_root

The content is misaligned with an external (third party) content that targets the same policy - typically, this means that a system hardened by our content doesn't pass the scan by the external content.

Details:

Our rule file_permission_user_init_files_root passed
Their rule SV-230325r1017136_rule failed because it didn't file any file in / matching ^\.[^\s\.]+.

There was a ticket about this rule but for RHEL 9, but the ticket is now closed: #11778

Outcome:

• This project's content can be improved:
  • Check needs to be improved.
  • Remediation needs to be improved.
• The external content's check is faulty - the other party needs to be notified, they have work to do.
