<p><p><b>Title:</b><p>Updated Security Configuration Management (SCM) PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 7
<p><p><b>Category:</b><p>Updated SCM checklist
<p><p><b>Published Benchmark:</b><p>Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard v3.1
<p><p><b>Details:</b><p>The IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on team has updated the content for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) checklist for RHEL 7 to support remediation and provide other enhancements. Details are as follows:
<ul><ul type="disc"><li>Remediation is supported for the PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 7 site. This feature allows console operators to resolve a vulnerability issue with a single action.
<li>The measured values for each RHEL 7 check, which can be viewed in the BigFix console, analyses, and SCA reports are formatted for enhanced readability. The results now clearly present the desired system configuration setting, as specified by a check, against the actual setting on the endpoint.
<li>The checks named <i>“Verify that the "xfs" service is Disabled”</i> (pcidss-2.2.2.a.30.6) and <i>“Verify User/group owner and permissions are set on /etc/anacrontab”</i> (pcidss-7.2.2.6) are removed from the checklist because they are not applicable.
<li>The check named <i>“Create and Set Permissions on rsyslog Log Files”</i> (pcidss-7.2.2.22.6) is a duplicate of another check and is removed from the checklist. <br></ul></ul><b>Published Site:</b><br>PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 7, version 4<br><i>*The site version is provided for air-gap customers.</i><p><p><b>Actions to Take:</b><ul><ul type="disc"><li>If you use custom sites, update your custom sites accordingly to use the latest content.
