RHEA-2015:0464 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new scap-security-guide package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The scap-security-guide package provides the security guidance, baselines, and
associated validation mechanisms that use Security Content Automation Protocol
(SCAP). SCAP Security Guide contains the necessary data to perform system
security compliance scans regarding prescribed security policy requirements;
both a written description and an automated test (probe) are included. By
automating the testing, SCAP Security Guide provides a convenient and reliable
way to verify system compliance on a regular basis.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system administrators can use the oscap command-line
tool from the openscap-scanner package to verify that the system conforms to the
provided guidelines. For further information, see the scap-security-guide(8)
manual page.

This enhancement update adds the scap-security-guide package to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7. (BZ#1108067)

All users who require scap-security-guide are advised to install this new
package.
