With the upcoming changes to rebase onto the RHEL 7 STIG controls, there needs to be a new solution for documentation that is easier to manage and filter. This patch automates the generation of the STIG control documentation in the following way: * A Sphinx extension runs early in the doc build process that writes all of the individual STIG control docs as well as ToC pages. * ToC pages are now sorted by severity, tag, and implementation status. * A giant listing of controls is easier to navigate now. * Docs are generated from metadata in the /doc/metadata directory. New documentation only needs to be added there. (Will explain this in the developer notes in a subsequent patch.)

This patch disables ICMPv4 redirects feature on the host.
|
|
Accepting ICMP redirects has few legitimate uses.
|
|
It should be disabled unless it is absolutely required.
|
|
|
|
It is configurable by ``security_disable_icmpv4_redirects`` variable.
|
|
This feature is disabled by default as it can disrupt ``LXC`` deployments.
|
|
|
|
Deployers can skip or enable this task by setting
|
|
``security_disable_icmpv4_redirects`` to ``no`` or ``yes``, respectively.
