OVAL support for CentOS
by Jesus Linares 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Hi, I would like to know if there is some feed for OVAL checks like in Redhat: https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/. Documentation: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/ht… Other distributions have an oval feed: - Redhat: https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/ - Debian: https://www.debian.org/security/oval/ - Ubuntu: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/oval/ Thanks a lot. Regards. -- *Jesus Linares* *IT Security Engineer*

firewalld: whitelisting/blacklisting addresses allowed to connect to a service/port with ipset
by Kenneth Porter 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

I'm trying to figure out how to use firewalld on CentOS 7 to block access to ssh (on a custom port to control log bloat) and smtp submission except for specific source addresses, using ipset. I haven't been able to figure out how to combine a port number or service name with an ipset, either as a blacklist of nets or a whitelist of addresses. It looks like ipset with type of "hash:net,port" might work but the current version of firewalld on C7 doesn't support that type. I fear I'm going to have to write a direct rule. Has anyone combined ipset with a port to achieve this? I tried a rich rule but I can't specify both an ipset and a port as the source value. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Sound stopped working from internal speaker in CentOS 7.2 (intel-hda) and is still broken.
by Barry Brimer 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

This message is long overdue. I've commented on similar issues when other people have mentioned similar items, but I am finally taking the time to to ask this question. Did anyone else have the sound from their internal speaker stop working with the release of CentOS 7.2? I have tested this with multiple machines with the same card and the same issue. The card is identified as: !!PCI Soundcards installed in the system !!-------------------------------------- 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) !!Advanced information - PCI Vendor/Device/Subsystem ID's !!------------------------------------------------------- 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:3a6e (rev 02) Subsystem: 17aa:3048 At the release of CentOS 7.2, sound stopped working from the internal speaker. I could still plug in headphones and get audio without issue, but I can't use the speaker. This breaks between the last update kernel of CentOS 7.1 and the GA kernel of 7.2 and is still broken as of the latest 7.3 kernel. I have captured alsa-info.sh output from the following kernels: kernel-3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64 <== Last kernel which produces sound from internal speaker. If booted with this kernel, sound is produced from the internal speaker. This was the last update kernel before CentOS 7.2 kernel-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 <== 7.2 GA kernel. Sound is not produced from internal speaker. kernel-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 Current 7.3 update kernel. Sound is not produced from internal speaker. I have tried eliminating alsa, as directed in Fedora sounds troubleshooting <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems> by removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio I have tried creating /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf file with the following contents: ============================================================= options snd-pcsp index=-2 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=6stack options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 enable=yes ============================================================= I have tried listing and unmuting all devices alsa using scripts from <http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/sound/sound_troubleshooting.htm> The only thing which appears relevant that is mentioned in the RHEL 7.2 release notes is: "The HDA driver has been updated to the latest upstream version to use the new jack kctls method." In reviewing the changelog there are a handful of sound/alsa related changes in 3.10.0-318.el7 and prior to that, there were an immense number of sound/alsa changes in 3.10.0-278.el7. The most specific thing that I can state is that in the working kernel, in alsamixer there is a second box which appears to be a level which can be adjusted on top of the item "Front" which I assume to be the front speaker. In the kernels that do not have sound working, this second level-looking box does not appear. I welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks, Barry

They are unrelated, (except for the confusion caused by the name similarity). Bernard -- Having an example or two of sites that you are having issues with might help it trying to see if it's a general problem or perhaps something more local.

To see if you are using an ESR release, check the Firefox menu item (Help -> About) and looking for the "ESR" identifier. Mozilla maintains Firefox ESR Releases for approximately one year. Developers and users still relying on the Java plugin technology in the 32-bit Mozilla Firefox web browser should consider migrating to a different solution. * * // Even with 'ESR', it appears the writing is on the wall for Firefox with regards to Java. / Scott //

Customers will be required to migrate existing systems to Red Hat Subscription Management prior to this date. Is there any plan to shift the CentOS announcements to refer to an alternative freely available service?

Using ssd disks for kvm guests
by C. L. Martinez 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi all, Recently I have acquired a supermicro e200-8d micro server to use it as my homelab. It is equipped with two ssd disks. My idea is to install several kvm guests on it, but I have some doubts about what type of filesystem (ext4 or xfs?) or block to use (lvm). Recommendations? Do I need to accomplish some type of running if I choose to use ext4 or xfs?? Thanks.
