It looks like section 9.2.13 contains the unusual namespace (this is what Steve Grubb mentioned). CIS-CAT provides the schema x-unix-invalidhomedirownership.xml and I tried copying this into the OpenSCAP schema directory but it didn’t seem to work.

I removed all references to 9.2.13 and was able to run a scan with OpenSCAP 1.2.3 using the —skip-vaild option. I did have 3 errors on sections 9.2.2-4 but that may be unrelated.

My plan is to test using OpenSCAP 1.2.4 to see if the improved OVAL 5.11 support changes anything.

My suspicion is that the content (benchmarks) itself has been extended past SCAP 1.2.

Looking at the June 2015 CIS-CAT release and its CentOS 7 OVAL content, I find neither oscap or my validating editor like it.

oscap oval validate CIS_CentOS_Linux_7_Benchmark_v1.1.0-oval.xml fails.

That document has at least three errors, one of which is the presence of an unusual namespace http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/x-unix-invalidhomedirownership which is used at lines 4346 and 5560.

The document asserts it is OVAL v5.11.
