oval support for centos
by Sep0lkit 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

We use oval to check the system vulnerability. Redhat offer official oval(https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/), and it works well on redhat. There is no official centos oval, and using redhat oval on centos got false results. centos is based redhat, so I wrote a script fetch redhat oval files and convert it to useful for centos. And I push the oval to my github: https://github.com/Sep0lkit/oval-for-el Everyone interested in this can try to use it and tell me it works correctly or not.

Installing: qt5-qtdeclarative-5.9.2-1.el7.x86_64 (base) qt5-qtdeclarative(x86-64) = 5.9.2-1.el7 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest [root@localhost ~]# The culprit appears to be the current qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.1-2 from EPEL. A workaround is: downloading and installing qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.1-1 (from https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/ ) lets the installation succeed. However, /etc/yum.conf then needs exclude=qt5-qtwebkit I think this is is due to the fact that EPEL is synchronized with RedHat (which has version 7.7), but CentOS is still at 7.6 This type of problem has bitten us a couple of times (mostly with ElRepo and the NVidia kmod and driver) - whenever a CentOS update was not yet ready, but the corresponding RedHat point release was out. ElRepo seems to have an elegant solution for this solution - yum-plugin-elrepo . Is there anything like that available for EPEL ? thanks, Kay
