Subject: [PATCH 01/23] Remove a rule from RHEL 9 OSPP

Remove rule sysctl_net_core_bpf_jit_harden from RHEL 9 OSPP.  This rule
requires to set net.core.bpf_jit_harden value to 2, the RHEL 9 default
is 1. However, bpf_jit_harden=1 disables kallsyms access from bpf
programs and all users, and it turns on constants blinding by using
random value + XOR for CAP_BPF; so the only thing in which value 1 and 2
differ is the constants blinding for CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes in the
initial user namespaces. The extra constants blinding with
bpf_jit_harden=2 does not really help with CVE mitigation.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2081728

Subject: [PATCH 02/23] Rename IDs in sysctl OVAL template

The sysctl template uses its sysctlvar parameter value as a part of OVAL
object IDs, test IDs and state IDs. That means we can't have multiple
rules using the sysctl template with the same value of sysctlvar
parameter (only differ in other parameters) because there would be
duplicate elements. We will fix this by using the rule ID as a part of
OVAL object IDs, test IDs and state IDs.  That will allow to use the
template for the same sysctlvar in different rules.

Subject: [PATCH 03/23] Use a list of values in sysctl template

This patch adds an ability to use a list of values instead of a single
value in the sysctlval parameter of the sysctl template.  This is useful
for situations when we want to create a rule that passes for multiple
different sysctl values.  This commit modifies the OVAL for the runtime
configuration.  The runtime configuration will be allowed to be any of
the values in the list.  There is an OR relation between the values.  In
fact, this is a first step to enable multiple values in the sysctlval
parameter in the sysctl template, because we will also need to check the
static configuration, which is not done in this commit.

Subject: [PATCH 04/23] Move check unrelated to the test scenarios

The check for an mepty list is unrelated to the test scenarios,
rather is a generic check to avoid problems during the build.
Therefore, it shouldn't be inside code block that is handling
data for test scenarios, but can be extracted to a sooner position.

This extends the OVAL checks for sysctl static configuration
to enable a list of values instead of a single value in the
sysctlval parameter of the sysctl template. The template
will generate OVAL tests for each value in the sysctlval
list.

Subject: [PATCH 06/23] Add option to allow system default

Introduce new template option `missing_static_pass` to the
systemctl template. If this option is set to `"true"` in rule.yml
the OVAL will be generated in a way that the check will pass if
there is no sysctl static configuration option in the watched sysctl
configuration files. In other words, the OVAL check will pass if
the system default isn't overridden.

Subject: [PATCH 07/23] Accept multiple values in the sysctl remediation

A new parameter sysctlval_remediate is introduced to the sysctl
template. This allows to choose which of the multiple values in
the sysctl list will be used in the Bash and Ansible remediations.

Subject: [PATCH 08/23] Introduce new rule
 sysctl_kernel_unprivileged_bpf_disabled_accept_default

This rule is very similar to the existing rule
sysctl_kernel_unprivileged_bpf_disabled, but it allows the sysctl
setting kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled to be either 1 or 2. Also, the
rule will pass when the explicit configuration isn't present, allowing
to honor the system's default value which is 2. The goal of this rule is
to prevent unnecessary modification of the RHEL system default value
while still checking for the secure configuration.

See the explanation in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2081728:
sysctl_kernel_unprivileged_bpf_disabled sets the
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled value to 1.  However, on RHEL 9 the
kernel supports new value 2 which per
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.html#unprivileged-bpf-disabled
makes it for a privileged admin to re-enable unprivileged BPF. The value
2 is also the RHEL 9 default. So the current
sysctl_kernel_unprivileged_bpf_disabled rule unnecessarily modifies
the RHEL 9 default.

Subject: [PATCH 13/23] Introduce sysctlval_wrong parameter

When the `sysctalval` parameter is a list, this parameter will be
substitued into the SYSCTL_WRONG_VALUE parameter in test scenarios. This
is better than current computing of the SYSCTL_WRONG_VALUE parameter
which is done by prepending "1" to the string value, because the
computed value could be invalid and the `sysctl -w` command used in the
test scenario wrong_runtime.fail.sh could fail to set the value to
SYSCTL_WRONG_VALUE therefore not changing the runtime. If at the same
time the `missing_static_pass` is set to `true` and the system is set to
system default, then the unchanged runtime would cause the check to pass
and therefore the test scenario wrong_runtime.fail.sh to error.

Instead of using multiple OVAL tests in OR relation we can have
a single OVAL test containing multiple OVAL states in OR relation.
That will simplify the code.

Subject: [PATCH 16/23] Replace the sysctlval_remediate template parameter

Replace the sysctlval_remediate template parameter by using an XCCDF
value. The variable would be only used in the remediation and would
allow users to tailor the value, instead of the current solution where
the value is hardcoded and can be only changed during build time.
