That CI fail is valid. |
ClientAliveCountMax=0 has opposite behavior on OpenSSH >= 8.2: it disables timeouts completely instead of timing out after ClientAliveInterval. This breaks session timeout requirements on RHEL 9+, RHEL 10, and SLE 15+. Add logind_session_timeout to HIPAA controls to provide system-wide idle session termination via systemd-logind. Exclude sshd_set_keepalive_0 from RHEL10, SLE15, and SLE16 HIPAA profiles where it has broken behavior. Update profile stability tests to reflect the changes.
The logind_session_timeout rule requires RHEL >= 8.7 per its platform constraints. The rhel8 product represents all RHEL 8 versions (8.0-8.10), so exclude the rule to avoid including it on RHEL 8.0-8.6 where it won't work.
