Bug Description
[Impact]
The "libdbus-1-dev" package is missing from the "Build-Depends" in the "debian/control" file, and as a result, the OVAL object support for "systemdunitpro
[Test Case]
Run the command "oscap --v", and without the "libdbus-1-dev" dependency, content under "Supported OVAL objects and associated OpenSCAP probes" will NOT include the "systemdunitpro
[Regression Potential]
The changes proposed enables new functionality that is already included in the source package, and does not change the behavior of existing code significantly.
Using the same patch attached to this bug report, Canonical security certification team has created a PPA here: https:/
The team is actively using the PPA to develop SCAP content with and without the proposed changes:
-- Without the proposed changes, ran scans using OpenSCAP against SCAP content with 40+ diverse rules based on CIS benchmark, and saved the xml scan result. The content included a rule that requires "systemdunitpro
-- With the proposed changes, ran scan against the same SCAP content, and saved the xml scan result. The result was identical with the only exception that the "systemdunitpro
We are also running similar scans against an ever growing SCAP content base 20~30 times on a daily basis, and OpenSCAP behaved normally.
