      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Selecting "Standard System Security Profile" during install fails with the following error:

          /dev/shm must be on a separate partition or logical volume

      The Anaconda installer is calling the following when applying this profile within the "SECURITY POLICY" spoke:

      ~~~

      15:31:39,686 INF misc: OSCAP addon: Executing subprocess: 'oscap xccdf generate fix --template-urn:redhat: anaconda:pre --profile =xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_cis_server_11 --datastream-id-scap_org.open-scap_datastream_from_xccdf_ssg-rhe19-xccdf.xml --xccdf-id=scap_org.open-scap_cref_ssg-rhe19-xccdf .xml /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhe19-ds.xml'

      ~~~

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      RHEL 9.3 Binary DVD
      # rpm -qa | grep scap
      openscap-1.3.8-1.el9.x86_64
      openscap-scanner-1.3.8-1.el9.x86_64
      scap-security-guide-0.1.69-2.el9.noarch

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Begin an installation using the 9.3 Binary DVD media
      2. Leave all options to their default
      3. Select the "SECURITY POLICY" menu option
      4. Select "CIS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Benchmark for Level 1 - Server" profile from the menu presented
      5. Click the "Select profile" button

      Actual results

      The "Changes that were done or need to be done:" field returns

          /dev/shm must be on a separate partition or logical volume 

      Expected results

      No error returned. Especially not an error related to the /dev/shm interface. This is not a configured mount point, but is created/mounted by systemd internals.

      Additional info:

      The exact error being returned by oscap, and is translated by the installer, is the following:
