Rule Text

OL 8 must not have the "iprutils" package installed if not required for operational support.

Description

Discussion Text

The "iprutils" package provides a suite of utilities to manage and configure IBM Power Linux RAID Adapters supported by the IPR SCSI storage device driver. Disabling the "iprutils" package protects the system against exploitation of any flaws in its implementation.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

Assessment Script Powered by AISandbox-executed

A standalone Shell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked and actually executed in an isolated sandbox (not the real system this checks) — confirmed to run without errors.

if ! command -v rpm &> /dev/null; then
  echo "FAIL"
  exit 1

if rpm -qa | grep -q iprutils; then
  echo "FAIL"
  exit 1

echo "PASS"
exit 0

Remediation

Configure OL 8 to disable non-essential capabilities by removing the "iprutils" package from the system with the following command: 
 
$ sudo yum remove iprutils
