[Open-scap] Benchmark for Canonical Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[Boucher, William]

Stuart and Watson,

I found the packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (“cosmic”) but not for Ubuntu 16.04 (“xenial”). The DISA STIG is written specifically for Ubuntu 16.04 (“U_Canonical_16-04_LTS_V1R1_STIG.zip”). Am I not looking in the right place for the SSG?

I found the ssg packages for Ubuntu 18.04 at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=cosmic&searchon=names&keywords=ssg, but they are not in the 16.04 package listing at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial&searchon=names&keywords=ssg.

Could they be in another repository for 16.04? (Note I am using the latest xenial, 16.04.5, which has the same Linux kernel as the latest cosmic release, 4.15.)

Thank you for your help and patience,

                --Bill

Stuart,

How do I get the current/latest scap security guide?

Latest pre-built content can be grabbed at https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/releases, just download the zip file.

1)      I went to https://www.open-scap.org/security-policies/scap-security-guide/ and clicked on the Ubuntu symbol to get directions for installing it, but that gave message “The SCAP Security Guide package is not available on the Ubuntu distribution yet. Check for update.”
The website needs to updated, there are SCAP Security Guide packages for Ubuntu and Debian.

2)      “apt-get install scap-security-guide” produced the error “Unable to locate package scap-security-guide.”

It seems that the packages are named slightly different in Ubuntu, see: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/disco/scap-security-guide

I did successfully install libopenscap8 (“apt-get install libopenscap8”).

All help is appreciated.

The current (0.1.41) version of the scap security guide has Ubuntu benchmarks.

Hi folks,

I am currently hardening an Ubuntu embedded system for delivery to a customer.

I have downloaded the “Canonical Ubuntu 16.04 LTS STIG Ver 1, Rel 1” from DISA, and I have obtained a copy of the SCAP Compliance checker tool “SCC 5.0.2 Ubuntu 16 AMD64”.

What I am missing is an SCAP Benchmark file for Ubuntu 16.04. Does one exist?

I would like to use OpenSCAP to harden then scan this IS. The Open-SCAP BASE page says that Ubuntu is supported, so I can get the tools installed. But without a benchmark how would I proceed from there?

Thank you,

        --Bill
