NAME

       oscap-vm - Tool for offline SCAP evaluation of virtual machines.

SYNOPSIS

       oscap-vm [--oscap=<oscap_binary>] domain VM_DOMAIN [OSCAP_OPTIONS] INPUT_CONTENT

       oscap-vm [--oscap=<oscap_binary>] image VM_STORAGE_IMAGE [OSCAP_OPTIONS] INPUT_CONTENT

DESCRIPTION

       oscap-vm performs SCAP evaluation of virtual machine domains or virtual machine images.

       The  tool  mounts  the  filesystem  of  given  virtual  machine  and  runs  oscap(8) to asses the mounted
       filesystem. The virtual machine is mounted read only, which prevents  damaging  of  the  virtual  machine
       during  the  scan. The evaluation is performed offline which means that it is performed from the host and
       no additional software is installed in the virtual machine.

       oscap-vm is a convenience wrapper on the top of the oscap(8)  utility.  Most  of  the  SCAP  capabilities
       provided by oscap(8) are available in oscap-vm as well.

NOTICE

       To mount the virtual machine filesystem, oscap-vm uses libguestfs to access the filestystem and FUSE (the
       "filesystem in userspace") to make it a mountable device.

       The tool requires bash, guestmount, mktemp and umount to work properly. If guestmount(1) command  is  not
       present on your system, the tool will try to use older fusermount(1) utility instead.

USAGE

       Usage of the tool mimics usage and options of oscap(8) tool.

       The  type  of scan target (either domain or image) has to be specified first. Then identify the target by
       the domain name (name of a named libvirt domain) or the image path, respectively.  Domain  UUIDs  can  be
       used instead of names. Any domains including the running domains can be scanned.

       Optionally,  as  the  very first argument, different oscap(8) binary could be chosen to perform the scan,
       like --oscap=<path/to/oscap>.

       The rest of the options are passed directly to oscap(8) utility. For  the  detailed  description  of  its
       options  please  refer to oscap(8) manual page. However some of its options are not supported in oscap-vm
       because offline evaluation is used.

       Last argument is SCAP content input file.

       Supported common options are:
         --verbose <verbosity_level>
         --verbose-log-file <file>

   Evaluation of XCCDF content
       xccdf eval module evaluates XCCDF files or SCAP source data streams. Result of each rule  is  printed  to
       standard output, including rule title, rule id and security identifier (CVE, CCE).

              oscap-vm domain VM_DOMAIN xccdf eval [options] INPUT_CONTENT

       Supported oscap xccdf eval options are:
         --profile <name>
         --rule <name>
         --tailoring-file <file>
         --tailoring-id <component-id>
         --cpe <name> (external OVAL dependencies are not supported yet!)
         --oval-results
         --check-engine-results
         --results <file>
         --results-arf <file>
         --thin-results
         --without-syschar
         --report <file>

         --progress
         --datastream-id <id>
         --xccdf-id <id>
         --benchmark-id <id>

       Remediation of virtual machines is not supported.

   Evaluation of OVAL content
       oval eval module scans the system and evaluate definitions from given OVAL Definitions file.

              oscap-vm image VM_STORAGE_IMAGE oval eval [options] INPUT_CONTENT
              oscap-vm domain VM_DOMAIN oval eval [options] INPUT_CONTENT

       Supported oscap oval eval options are:
         --id <definition-id>
         --variables <file>
         --directives <file>
         --without-syschar
         --results <file>
         --report <file>
         --skip-valid
         --skip-validation
         --datastream-id <id>
         --oval-id <id>

   Collection of OVAL System Characteristic
       oval collect module scans the system and collects items according to given OVAL Definitions file.

              oscap-vm image VM_STORAGE_IMAGE oval collect [options] INPUT_CONTENT
              oscap-vm domain VM_DOMAIN oval collect [options] INPUT_CONTENT

       Supported oscap oval collect options are:
         --id <object>
         --syschar <file>
         --variables <file>
         --skip-valid
         --skip-validation

EXAMPLES

       Evaluate  a  Red  Hat  Enterprise  Linux  7  virtual domain for compliance with the DISA STIG for Red Hat
       Enterprise Linux and generate a report.

              oscap-vm domain rhel7 xccdf eval \
              --report report.html --results results.xml \
              --profile stig-rhel7-disa \
              /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml

       Evaluate a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 virtual machine  image  for  software  vulnerabilities  using  OVAL
       definitions and generate a report.

              oscap-vm image /var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6.qcow2 oval eval \
              --report report.html --results results.xml \
              com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL6.xml

EXIT STATUS

       Normally, the exit status is 0 when operation finished successfully and 1 otherwise. In cases when oscap-
       vm performs evaluation of the system it may return 2 indicating success of the operation but incompliance
       of the assessed system.
