Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

with profile DISA STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
This profile contains configuration checks that align to the DISA STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 V1R9. In addition to being applicable to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, DISA recognizes this configuration baseline as applicable to the operating system tier of Red Hat technologies that are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, such as: - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation and Desktop - Red Hat Enterprise Linux for HPC - Red Hat Storage - Red Hat Containers with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image

The SCAP Security Guide Project
https://www.open-scap.org/security-policies/scap-security-guide

This guide presents a catalog of security-relevant configuration settings for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. It is a rendering of content structured in the eXtensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF) in order to support security automation. The SCAP content is is available in the scap-security-guide package which is developed at https://www.open-scap.org/security-policies/scap-security-guide.

Providing system administrators with such guidance informs them how to securely configure systems under their control in a variety of network roles. Policy makers and baseline creators can use this catalog of settings, with its associated references to higher-level security control catalogs, in order to assist them in security baseline creation. This guide is a catalog, not a checklist, and satisfaction of every item is not likely to be possible or sensible in many operational scenarios. However, the XCCDF format enables granular selection and adjustment of settings, and their association with OVAL and OCIL content provides an automated checking capability. Transformations of this document, and its associated automated checking content, are capable of providing baselines that meet a diverse set of policy objectives. Some example XCCDF Profiles, which are selections of items that form checklists and can be used as baselines, are available with this guide. They can be processed, in an automated fashion, with tools that support the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). The DISA STIG, which provides required settings for US Department of Defense systems, is one example of a baseline created from this guidance.

Do not attempt to implement any of the settings in this guide without first testing them in a non-operational environment. The creators of this guidance assume no responsibility whatsoever for its use by other parties, and makes no guarantees, expressed or implied, about its quality, reliability, or any other characteristic.

Description	Run the following command to generate a new database: $ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --init By default, the database will be written to the file `/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz`. Storing the database, the configuration file `/etc/aide.conf`, and the binary `/usr/sbin/aide` (or hashes of these files), in a secure location (such as on read-only media) provides additional assurance about their integrity. The newly-generated database can be installed as follows: $ sudo cp /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz To initiate a manual check, run the following command: $ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --check If this check produces any unexpected output, investigate.
Rationale	For AIDE to be effective, an initial database of "known-good" information about files must be captured and it should be able to be verified against the installed files.

Description	The operating system file integrity tool must be configured to protect the integrity of the audit tools.
Rationale	Protecting the integrity of the tools used for auditing purposes is a critical step toward ensuring the integrity of audit information. Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, and audit reports) needed to successfully audit information system activity. Audit tools include but are not limited to vendor-provided and open-source audit tools needed to successfully view and manipulate audit information system activity and records. Audit tools include custom queries and report generators. It is not uncommon for attackers to replace the audit tools or inject code into the existing tools to provide the capability to hide or erase system activity from the audit logs. To address this risk, audit tools must be cryptographically signed to provide the capability to identify when the audit tools have been modified, manipulated, or replaced. An example is a checksum hash of the file or files.

Description	AIDE should notify appropriate personnel of the details of a scan after the scan has been run. If AIDE has already been configured for periodic execution in `/etc/crontab`, append the following line to the existing AIDE line: \| /bin/mail -s "$(hostname) - AIDE Integrity Check" root@localhost Otherwise, add the following line to `/etc/crontab`: 05 4 * * * root /usr/sbin/aide --check \| /bin/mail -s "$(hostname) - AIDE Integrity Check" root@localhost AIDE can be executed periodically through other means; this is merely one example.
Rationale	Unauthorized changes to the baseline configuration could make the system vulnerable to various attacks or allow unauthorized access to the operating system. Changes to operating system configurations can have unintended side effects, some of which may be relevant to security. Detecting such changes and providing an automated response can help avoid unintended, negative consequences that could ultimately affect the security state of the operating system. The operating system's Information Management Officer (IMO)/Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and System Administrators (SAs) must be notified via email and/or monitoring system trap when there is an unauthorized modification of a configuration item.

Description	Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems providing tools to interface with audit information will leverage user permissions and roles identifying the user accessing the tools, and the corresponding rights the user enjoys, to make access decisions regarding the access to audit tools. Audit tools include, but are not limited to, vendor-provided and open source audit tools needed to successfully view and manipulate audit information system activity and records. Audit tools include custom queries and report generators. Audit tools must have the correct group owner.
Rationale	Protecting audit information also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operations on audit information.

Description	Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems providing tools to interface with audit information will leverage user permissions and roles identifying the user accessing the tools, and the corresponding rights the user enjoys, to make access decisions regarding the access to audit tools. Audit tools include, but are not limited to, vendor-provided and open source audit tools needed to successfully view and manipulate audit information system activity and records. Audit tools include custom queries and report generators. Audit tools must have the correct owner.
Rationale	Protecting audit information also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operations on audit information.

Description	Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages. BIND is supported by crypto policy, but the BIND configuration may be set up to ignore it. To check that Crypto Policies settings are configured correctly, ensure that the `/etc/named.conf` includes the appropriate configuration: In the `options` section of `/etc/named.conf`, make sure that the following line is not commented out or superseded by later includes: `include "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/bind.config";`
Rationale	Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of the BIND service violate expectations, and makes system configuration more fragmented.

Description	To configure the system cryptography policy to use ciphers only from the `FIPS` policy, run the following command: $ sudo update-crypto-policies --set FIPS The rule checks if settings for selected crypto policy are configured as expected. Configuration files in the `/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends` are either symlinks to correct files provided by Crypto-policies package or they are regular files in case crypto policy customizations are applied. Crypto policies may be customized by crypto policy modules, in which case it is delimited from the base policy using a colon.
Rationale	Centralized cryptographic policies simplify applying secure ciphers across an operating system and the applications that run on that operating system. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data.

Description	Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages. GnuTLS is supported by system crypto policy, but the GnuTLS configuration may be set up to ignore it. To check that Crypto Policies settings are configured correctly, ensure that `/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config` contains the following line and is not commented out: `+VERS-ALL:-VERS-DTLS0.9:-VERS-SSL3.0:-VERS-TLS1.0:-VERS-TLS1.1:-VERS-DTLS1.0`
Rationale	Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of the GnuTLS library violate expectations, and makes system configuration more fragmented.

Description	Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages. OpenSSL is supported by crypto policy, but the OpenSSL configuration may be set up to ignore it. To check that Crypto Policies settings are configured correctly, you have to examine the OpenSSL config file available under `/etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf`. This file has the `ini` format, and it enables crypto policy support if there is a `[ crypto_policy ]` section that contains the `.include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensslcnf.config` directive.

Description	Crypto Policies are means of enforcing certain cryptographic settings for selected applications including OpenSSL. OpenSSL is by default configured to modify its configuration based on currently configured Crypto Policy. Editing the Crypto Policy back-end is not recommended. Check the crypto-policies(7) man page and choose a policy that configures TLS protocol to version 1.2 or higher, for example DEFAULT, FUTURE or FIPS policy. Or create and apply a custom policy that restricts minimum TLS version to 1.2. For example for versions prior to crypto-policies-20210617-1.gitc776d3e.el8.noarch this is expected: $ sudo grep -i MinProtocol /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensslcnf.config MinProtocol = TLSv1.2 Or for version crypto-policies-20210617-1.gitc776d3e.el8.noarch and newer this is expected: $ sudo grep -i MinProtocol /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensslcnf.config TLS.MinProtocol = TLSv1.2 DTLS.MinProtocol = DTLSv1.2
Rationale	Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection.
Warnings	warning This rule doesn't come with a remediation, automatically changing the crypto-policies may be too disruptive. Ensure the variable `xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_value_var_system_crypto_policy` is set to a Crypto Policy that satisfies OpenSSL minimum TLS protocol version 1.2. Custom policies may be applied too.

Description	Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages.

Description	Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 natively supports partition encryption through the Linux Unified Key Setup-on-disk-format (LUKS) technology. The easiest way to encrypt a partition is during installation time. For manual installations, select the `Encrypt` checkbox during partition creation to encrypt the partition. When this option is selected the system will prompt for a passphrase to use in decrypting the partition. The passphrase will subsequently need to be entered manually every time the system boots. For automated/unattended installations, it is possible to use Kickstart by adding the `--encrypted` and `--passphrase=` options to the definition of each partition to be encrypted. For example, the following line would encrypt the root partition: part / --fstype=ext4 --size=100 --onpart=hda1 --encrypted --passphrase=PASSPHRASE Any PASSPHRASE is stored in the Kickstart in plaintext, and the Kickstart must then be protected accordingly. Omitting the `--passphrase=` option from the partition definition will cause the installer to pause and interactively ask for the passphrase during installation. By default, the `Anaconda` installer uses `aes-xts-plain64` cipher with a minimum `512` bit key size which should be compatible with FIPS enabled. Detailed information on encrypting partitions using LUKS or LUKS ciphers can be found on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Documentation web site: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/security_hardening/encrypting-block-devices-using-luks_security-hardening .
Rationale	The risk of a system's physical compromise, particularly mobile systems such as laptops, places its data at risk of compromise. Encrypting this data mitigates the risk of its loss if the system is lost.

Description	If user home directories will be stored locally, create a separate partition for `/home` at installation time (or migrate it later using LVM). If `/home` will be mounted from another system such as an NFS server, then creating a separate partition is not necessary at installation time, and the mountpoint can instead be configured later.
Rationale	Ensuring that `/home` is mounted on its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options, and also helps ensure that users cannot trivially fill partitions used for log or audit data storage.

This functionality should be disabled by setting `disable-user-list` to `true`. To disable, add or edit `disable-user-list` to `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings`. For example: [org/gnome/login-screen] disable-user-list=true Once the setting has been added, add a lock to `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock` to prevent user modification. For example: /org/gnome/login-screen/disable-user-list After the settings have been set, run `dconf update`.
Rationale	Leaving the user list enabled is a security risk since it allows anyone with physical access to the system to quickly enumerate known user accounts without logging in.

Description	In the default graphical environment, screen locking on smartcard removal can be enabled by setting `removal-action` to `'lock-screen'`. To enable, add or edit `removal-action` to `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings`. For example: [org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/smartcard] removal-action='lock-screen' Once the setting has been added, add a lock to `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock` to prevent user modification. For example: /org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/smartcard/removal-action After the settings have been set, run `dconf update`.
Rationale	Locking the screen automatically when removing the smartcard can prevent undesired access to system.

Description	The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) can allow users to automatically login without user interaction or credentials. User should always be required to authenticate themselves to the system that they are authorized to use. To disable user ability to automatically login to the system, set the `AutomaticLoginEnable` to `false` in the `[daemon]` section in `/etc/gdm/custom.conf`. For example: [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=false
Rationale	Failure to restrict system access to authenticated users negatively impacts operating system security.

Description	The idle time-out value for inactivity in the GNOME3 desktop is configured via the `idle-delay` setting must be set under an appropriate configuration file(s) in the `/etc/dconf/db/local.d` directory and locked in `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks` directory to prevent user modification. For example, to configure the system for a 15 minute delay, add the following to `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings`: [org/gnome/desktop/session] idle-delay=uint32 900
Rationale	A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not logout because of the temporary nature of the absence. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their operating system session prior to vacating the vicinity, GNOME3 can be configured to identify when a user's session has idled and take action to initiate a session lock.

Description	To activate the locking delay of the screensaver in the GNOME3 desktop when the screensaver is activated, add or set `lock-delay` to `uint32 5` in `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings`. For example: [org/gnome/desktop/screensaver] lock-delay=uint32 5 After the settings have been set, run `dconf update`.

Description	By default, `GNOME` will reboot the system if the `Ctrl-Alt-Del` key sequence is pressed. To configure the system to ignore the `Ctrl-Alt-Del` key sequence from the Graphical User Interface (GUI) instead of rebooting the system, add or set `logout` to `''` in `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings`. For example: [org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys] logout='' Once the settings have been added, add a lock to `/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock` to prevent user modification. For example: /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/logout After the settings have been set, run `dconf update`.
Rationale	A locally logged-in user who presses Ctrl-Alt-Del, when at the console, can reboot the system. If accidentally pressed, as could happen in the case of mixed OS environment, this can create the risk of short-term loss of availability of systems due to unintentional reboot.

Description	The sudo `timestamp_timeout` tag sets the amount of time sudo password prompt waits. The default `timestamp_timeout` value is 5 minutes. The timestamp_timeout should be configured by making sure that the `timestamp_timeout` tag exists in `/etc/sudoers` configuration file or any sudo configuration snippets in `/etc/sudoers.d/`. If the value is set to an integer less than 0, the user's time stamp will not expire and the user will not have to re-authenticate for privileged actions until the user's session is terminated.
Rationale	Without re-authentication, users may access resources or perform tasks for which they do not have authorization. When operating systems provide the capability to escalate a functional capability, it is critical that the user re-authenticate.

Description	The sudo command allows a user to execute programs with elevated (administrator) privileges. It prompts the user for their password and confirms your request to execute a command by checking a file, called sudoers. Restrict privileged actions by removing the following entries from the sudoers file: `ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL` `ALL ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL`
Rationale	If the "sudoers" file is not configured correctly, any user defined on the system can initiate privileged actions on the target system.
Warnings	warning This rule doesn't come with a remediation, as the exact requirement allows exceptions, and removing lines from the sudoers file can make the system non-administrable.

Description	Administrators can configure authorized `sudo` users via drop-in files, and it is possible to include other directories and configuration files from the file currently being parsed. Make sure that `/etc/sudoers` only includes drop-in configuration files from `/etc/sudoers.d`, or that no drop-in file is included. Either the `/etc/sudoers` should contain only one `#includedir` directive pointing to `/etc/sudoers.d`, and no file in `/etc/sudoers.d/` should include other files or directories; Or the `/etc/sudoers` should not contain any `#include`, `@include`, `#includedir` or `@includedir` directives. Note that the '#' character doesn't denote a comment in the configuration file.
Rationale	Some `sudo` configurtion options allow users to run programs without re-authenticating. Use of these configuration options makes it easier for one compromised accound to be used to compromise other accounts.

Description	The sudoers security policy requires that users authenticate themselves before they can use sudo. When sudoers requires authentication, it validates the invoking user's credentials. The expected output for: sudo cvtsudoers -f sudoers /etc/sudoers \| grep -E '^Defaults !?(rootpw\|targetpw\|runaspw)$' Defaults !targetpw Defaults !rootpw Defaults !runaspw or if cvtsudoers not supported: sudo find /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d $ \! -name '~' -a \! -name '.' $ -exec grep -E --with-filename '^[[:blank:]]Defaults[[:blank:]](.*[[:blank:]])?!?\b(rootpw\|targetpw\|runaspw)' -- {} \; /etc/sudoers:Defaults !targetpw /etc/sudoers:Defaults !rootpw /etc/sudoers:Defaults !runaspw
Rationale	If the rootpw, targetpw, or runaspw flags are defined and not disabled, by default the operating system will prompt the invoking user for the "root" user password.

Description	To ensure the system can cryptographically verify base software packages come from Red Hat (and to connect to the Red Hat Network to receive them), the Red Hat GPG key must properly be installed. To install the Red Hat GPG key, run: $ sudo subscription-manager register If the system is not connected to the Internet or an RHN Satellite, then install the Red Hat GPG key from trusted media such as the Red Hat installation CD-ROM or DVD. Assuming the disc is mounted in `/media/cdrom`, use the following command as the root user to import it into the keyring: $ sudo rpm --import /media/cdrom/RPM-GPG-KEY Alternatively, the key may be pre-loaded during the RHEL installation. In such cases, the key can be installed by running the following command: sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
Rationale	Changes to software components can have significant effects on the overall security of the operating system. This requirement ensures the software has not been tampered with and that it has been provided by a trusted vendor. The Red Hat GPG key is necessary to cryptographically verify packages are from Red Hat.

Description	If the system is joined to the Red Hat Network, a Red Hat Satellite Server, or a yum server, run the following command to install updates: $ sudo yum update If the system is not configured to use one of these sources, updates (in the form of RPM packages) can be manually downloaded from the Red Hat Network and installed using `rpm`. NOTE: U.S. Defense systems are required to be patched within 30 days or sooner as local policy dictates.
Rationale	Installing software updates is a fundamental mitigation against the exploitation of publicly-known vulnerabilities. If the most recent security patches and updates are not installed, unauthorized users may take advantage of weaknesses in the unpatched software. The lack of prompt attention to patching could result in a system compromise.
Warnings	warning The OVAL feed of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is not a XML file, which may not be understood by all scanners.

Description	In the default graphical environment, displaying a login warning banner in the GNOME Display Manager's login screen can be enabled on the login screen by setting `banner-message-enable` to `true`. To enable, add or edit `banner-message-enable` to `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings`. For example: [org/gnome/login-screen] banner-message-enable=true Once the setting has been added, add a lock to `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock` to prevent user modification. For example: /org/gnome/login-screen/banner-message-enable After the settings have been set, run `dconf update`. The banner text must also be set.
Rationale	Display of a standardized and approved use notification before granting access to the operating system ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. For U.S. Government systems, system use notifications are required only for access via login interfaces with human users and are not required when such human interfaces do not exist.

Description	In the default graphical environment, configuring the login warning banner text in the GNOME Display Manager's login screen can be configured on the login screen by setting `banner-message-text` to `'APPROVED_BANNER'` where APPROVED_BANNER is the approved banner for your environment. To enable, add or edit `banner-message-text` to `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings`. For example: [org/gnome/login-screen] banner-message-text='APPROVED_BANNER' Once the setting has been added, add a lock to `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock` to prevent user modification. For example: /org/gnome/login-screen/banner-message-text After the settings have been set, run `dconf update`. When entering a warning banner that spans several lines, remember to begin and end the string with `'` and use `\n` for new lines.
Rationale	An appropriate warning message reinforces policy awareness during the logon process and facilitates possible legal action against attackers.

Description	To configure the system login banner edit `/etc/issue`. Replace the default text with a message compliant with the local site policy or a legal disclaimer. The DoD required text is either: You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only. By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions: -The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations. -At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS. -Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose. -This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests -- not for your personal benefit or privacy. -Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants.

Description	Do not allow users to reuse recent passwords. This can be accomplished by using the `remember` option for the `pam_pwhistory` PAM module. On systems with newer versions of `authselect`, the `pam_pwhistory` PAM module can be enabled via authselect feature: authselect enable-feature with-pwhistory Otherwise, it should be enabled using an authselect custom profile. Newer systems also have the `/etc/security/pwhistory.conf` file for setting `pam_pwhistory` module options. This file should be used whenever available. Otherwise, the `pam_pwhistory` module options can be set in PAM files. The value for `remember` option must be equal or greater than 5
Rationale	Preventing re-use of previous passwords helps ensure that a compromised password is not re-used by a user.
Warnings	warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. warning Newer versions of `authselect` contain an authselect feature to easily and properly enable `pam_pwhistory.so` module. If this feature is not yet available in your system, an authselect custom profile must be used to avoid integrity issues in PAM files. If a custom profile was created and used in the system before this authselect feature was available, the new feature can't be used with this custom profile and the remediation will fail. In this case, the custom profile should be recreated or manually updated.

Description	This rule configures the system to lock out accounts after a number of incorrect login attempts using `pam_faillock.so`. pam_faillock.so module requires multiple entries in pam files. These entries must be carefully defined to work as expected. In order to avoid errors when manually editing these files, it is recommended to use the appropriate tools, such as `authselect` or `authconfig`, depending on the OS version.
Rationale	By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, also known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the account.
Warnings	warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. If the system supports the `/etc/security/faillock.conf` file, the pam_faillock parameters should be defined in `faillock.conf` file.

Description	This rule configures the system to lock out the `root` account after a number of incorrect login attempts using `pam_faillock.so`. pam_faillock.so module requires multiple entries in pam files. These entries must be carefully defined to work as expected. In order to avoid errors when manually editing these files, it is recommended to use the appropriate tools, such as `authselect` or `authconfig`, depending on the OS version.
Rationale	By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, also known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the account.
Warnings	warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. If the system supports the `/etc/security/faillock.conf` file, the pam_faillock parameters should be defined in `faillock.conf` file.

Description	This rule ensures that the system lock out accounts using `pam_faillock.so` persist after system reboot. From "pam_faillock" man pages: Note that the default directory that "pam_faillock" uses is usually cleared on system boot so the access will be reenabled after system reboot. If that is undesirable, a different tally directory must be set with the "dir" option. pam_faillock.so module requires multiple entries in pam files. These entries must be carefully defined to work as expected. In order to avoid errors when manually editing these files, it is recommended to use the appropriate tools, such as `authselect` or `authconfig`, depending on the OS version.
Rationale	Locking out user accounts after a number of incorrect attempts prevents direct password guessing attacks. In combination with the `silent` option, user enumeration attacks are also mitigated.
Warnings	warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. If the system supports the `/etc/security/faillock.conf` file, the pam_faillock parameters should be defined in `faillock.conf` file.

Description	This rule ensures the system prevents informative messages from being presented to the user pertaining to logon information after a number of incorrect login attempts using `pam_faillock.so`. pam_faillock.so module requires multiple entries in pam files. These entries must be carefully defined to work as expected. In order to avoid errors when manually editing these files, it is recommended to use the appropriate tools, such as `authselect` or `authconfig`, depending on the OS version.
Rationale	The pam_faillock module without the silent option will leak information about the existence or non-existence of a user account in the system because the failures are not recorded for unknown users. The message about the user account being locked is never displayed for non-existing user accounts allowing the adversary to infer that a particular account exists or not on the system.
Warnings	warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. If the system supports the `/etc/security/faillock.conf` file, the pam_faillock parameters should be defined in `faillock.conf` file.

Description	This rule configures the system to lock out accounts during a specified time period after a number of incorrect login attempts using `pam_faillock.so`. pam_faillock.so module requires multiple entries in pam files. These entries must be carefully defined to work as expected. In order to avoid any errors when manually editing these files, it is recommended to use the appropriate tools, such as `authselect` or `authconfig`, depending on the OS version. If `unlock_time` is set to `0`, manual intervention by an administrator is required to unlock a user. This should be done using the `faillock` tool.
Rationale	By limiting the number of failed logon attempts the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the account.
Warnings	warning If the system supports the new `/etc/security/faillock.conf` file but the pam_faillock.so parameters are defined directly in `/etc/pam.d/system-auth` and `/etc/pam.d/password-auth`, the remediation will migrate the `unlock_time` parameter to `/etc/security/faillock.conf` to ensure compatibility with `authselect` tool. The parameters `deny` and `fail_interval`, if used, also have to be migrated by their respective remediation. warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. If the system supports the `/etc/security/faillock.conf` file, the pam_faillock parameters should be defined in `faillock.conf` file.

Description	The pam_pwquality module's `dcredit` parameter controls requirements for usage of digits in a password. When set to a negative number, any password will be required to contain that many digits. When set to a positive number, pam_pwquality will grant +1 additional length credit for each digit. Modify the `dcredit` setting in `/etc/security/pwquality.conf` to require the use of a digit in passwords.
Rationale	Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Requiring digits makes password guessing attacks more difficult by ensuring a larger search space.

Description	The pam_pwquality module's `difok` parameter sets the number of characters in a password that must not be present in and old password during a password change. Modify the `difok` setting in `/etc/security/pwquality.conf` to equal 8 to require differing characters when changing passwords.
Rationale	Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute–force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Requiring a minimum number of different characters during password changes ensures that newly changed passwords should not resemble previously compromised ones. Note that passwords which are changed on compromised systems will still be compromised, however.

Description	The pam_pwquality module's `maxrepeat` parameter controls requirements for consecutive repeating characters. When set to a positive number, it will reject passwords which contain more than that number of consecutive characters. Modify the `maxrepeat` setting in `/etc/security/pwquality.conf` to equal 3 to prevent a run of (3 + 1) or more identical characters.
Rationale	Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Passwords with excessive repeating characters may be more vulnerable to password-guessing attacks.

Description	The pam_pwquality module's `minclass` parameter controls requirements for usage of different character classes, or types, of character that must exist in a password before it is considered valid. For example, setting this value to three (3) requires that any password must have characters from at least three different categories in order to be approved. The default value is zero (0), meaning there are no required classes. There are four categories available: * Upper-case characters * Lower-case characters * Digits * Special characters (for example, punctuation) Modify the `minclass` setting in `/etc/security/pwquality.conf` entry to require 4 differing categories of characters when changing passwords.
Rationale	Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Requiring a minimum number of character categories makes password guessing attacks more difficult by ensuring a larger search space.

Description	The pam_pwquality module's `minlen` parameter controls requirements for minimum characters required in a password. Add `minlen=15` after pam_pwquality to set minimum password length requirements.
Rationale	The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.

Description	The pam_pwquality module's `ocredit=` parameter controls requirements for usage of special (or "other") characters in a password. When set to a negative number, any password will be required to contain that many special characters. When set to a positive number, pam_pwquality will grant +1 additional length credit for each special character. Modify the `ocredit` setting in `/etc/security/pwquality.conf` to equal -1 to require use of a special character in passwords.
Rationale	Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Requiring a minimum number of special characters makes password guessing attacks more difficult by ensuring a larger search space.

Description	To configure the number of retry prompts that are permitted per-session: Edit the `/etc/security/pwquality.conf` to include `retry=3`, or a lower value if site policy is more restrictive. The DoD requirement is a maximum of 3 prompts per session.
Rationale	Setting the password retry prompts that are permitted on a per-session basis to a low value requires some software, such as SSH, to re-connect. This can slow down and draw additional attention to some types of password-guessing attacks. Note that this is different from account lockout, which is provided by the pam_faillock module.

If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised. Passwords that are encrypted with a weak algorithm are no more protected than if they are kept in plain text. Using a stronger hashing algorithm makes password cracking attacks more difficult.

In `/etc/pam.d/password-auth`, the `password` section of the file controls which PAM modules execute during a password change. Set the `pam_unix.so` module in the `password` section to include the argument `sha512`, as shown below: password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 other arguments... This will help ensure when local users change their passwords, hashes for the new passwords will be generated using the SHA-512 algorithm. This is the default.
Rationale	Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised. Passwords that are encrypted with a weak algorithm are no more protected than if they are kepy in plain text. This setting ensures user and group account administration utilities are configured to store only encrypted representations of passwords. Additionally, the `crypt_style` configuration option ensures the use of a strong hashing algorithm that makes password cracking attacks more difficult.

Description	To enable console screen locking, install the `tmux` package. A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. Rather than be forced to wait for a period of time to expire before the user session can be locked, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 needs to provide users with the ability to manually invoke a session lock so users can secure their session if it is necessary to temporarily vacate the immediate physical vicinity. Instruct users to begin new terminal sessions with the following command: $ tmux The console can now be locked with the following key combination: ctrl+b :lock-session
Rationale	A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not logout because of the temporary nature of the absence. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their operation system session prior to vacating the vicinity, operating systems need to be able to identify when a user's session has idled and take action to initiate the session lock. The `tmux` package allows for a session lock to be implemented and configured.

Description

The tmux terminal multiplexer is used to implement automatic session locking. It should be started from /etc/bashrc or drop-in files within /etc/profile.d/.

Rationale

Unlike bash itself, the tmux terminal multiplexer provides a mechanism to lock sessions after period of inactivity. A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence.

Warnings

warning This rule configures Tmux to be executed in a way that exiting Tmux drops the user into a regular shell instead of logging them out, therefore the session locking mechanism is not enforced on the user.

Description	To set a key binding for the screen locking in `tmux` terminal multiplexer, the `session-lock` command must be bound to a key. Add the following line to `/etc/tmux.conf`: bind X lock-session . The console can now be locked with the following key combination: Ctrl+b Shift+x
Rationale	The `tmux` package allows for a session lock to be implemented and configured. However, the session lock is implemented by an external command. The `tmux` default configuration does not contain an effective session lock.

Description	SystemD's `debug-shell` service is intended to diagnose SystemD related boot issues with various `systemctl` commands. Once enabled and following a system reboot, the root shell will be available on `tty9` which is access by pressing `CTRL-ALT-F9`. The `debug-shell` service should only be used for SystemD related issues and should otherwise be disabled. By default, the `debug-shell` SystemD service is already disabled. The `debug-shell` service can be disabled with the following command: $ sudo systemctl mask --now debug-shell.service
Rationale	This prevents attackers with physical access from trivially bypassing security on the machine through valid troubleshooting configurations and gaining root access when the system is rebooted.

Description	By default, `SystemD` will reboot the system if the `Ctrl-Alt-Del` key sequence is pressed Ctrl-Alt-Delete more than 7 times in 2 seconds. To configure the system to ignore the `CtrlAltDelBurstAction` setting, add or modify the following to `/etc/systemd/system.conf`: CtrlAltDelBurstAction=none
Rationale	A locally logged-in user who presses Ctrl-Alt-Del, when at the console, can reboot the system. If accidentally pressed, as could happen in the case of mixed OS environment, this can create the risk of short-term loss of availability of systems due to unintentional reboot.
Warnings	warning Disabling the `Ctrl-Alt-Del` key sequence in `/etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf` DOES NOT disable the `Ctrl-Alt-Del` key sequence if running in `runlevel 6` (e.g. in GNOME, KDE, etc.)! The `Ctrl-Alt-Del` key sequence will only be disabled if running in the non-graphical `runlevel 3`.

Description	To specify the number of days after a password expires (which signifies inactivity) until an account is permanently disabled, add or correct the following line in `/etc/default/useradd`: INACTIVE=35 If a password is currently on the verge of expiration, then `35` day(s) remain(s) until the account is automatically disabled. However, if the password will not expire for another 60 days, then 60 days plus `35` day(s) could elapse until the account would be automatically disabled. See the `useradd` man page for more information.
Rationale	Inactive identifiers pose a risk to systems and applications because attackers may exploit an inactive identifier and potentially obtain undetected access to the system. Disabling inactive accounts ensures that accounts which may not have been responsibly removed are not available to attackers who may have compromised their credentials. Owners of inactive accounts will not notice if unauthorized access to their user account has been obtained.

Description	Emergency accounts are privileged accounts established in response to crisis situations where the need for rapid account activation is required. In the event emergency accounts are required, configure the system to terminate them after a documented time period. For every emergency account, run the following command to set an expiration date on it, substituting `ACCOUNT_NAME` and `YYYY-MM-DD` appropriately: $ sudo chage -E YYYY-MM-DD ACCOUNT_NAME `YYYY-MM-DD` indicates the documented expiration date for the account. For U.S. Government systems, the operating system must be configured to automatically terminate these types of accounts after a period of 72 hours.
Rationale	If emergency user accounts remain active when no longer needed or for an excessive period, these accounts may be used to gain unauthorized access. To mitigate this risk, automated termination of all emergency accounts must be set upon account creation.
Warnings	warning Due to the unique requirements of each system, automated remediation is not available for this configuration check.

Description	To specify password maximum age for new accounts, edit the file `/etc/login.defs` and add or correct the following line: PASS_MAX_DAYS 60 A value of 180 days is sufficient for many environments. The DoD requirement is 60. The profile requirement is `60`.
Rationale	Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed periodically. If the operating system does not limit the lifetime of passwords and force users to change their passwords, there is the risk that the operating system passwords could be compromised. Setting the password maximum age ensures users are required to periodically change their passwords. Requiring shorter password lifetimes increases the risk of users writing down the password in a convenient location subject to physical compromise.

Description	To specify password minimum age for new accounts, edit the file `/etc/login.defs` and add or correct the following line: PASS_MIN_DAYS 1 A value of 1 day is considered sufficient for many environments. The DoD requirement is 1. The profile requirement is `1`.
Rationale	Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps to prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. If users are allowed to immediately and continually change their password, then the password could be repeatedly changed in a short period of time to defeat the organization's policy regarding password reuse. Setting the minimum password age protects against users cycling back to a favorite password after satisfying the password reuse requirement.

Description	Verify the operating system requires the shadow password suite configuration be set to encrypt interactive user passwords using a strong cryptographic hash. Check that the interactive user account passwords are using a strong password hash with the following command: $ sudo cut -d: -f2 /etc/shadow $6$kcOnRq/5$NUEYPuyL.wghQwWssXRcLRFiiru7f5JPV6GaJhNC2aK5F3PZpE/BCCtwrxRc/AInKMNX3CdMw11m9STiql12f/ Password hashes `!` or `*` indicate inactive accounts not available for logon and are not evaluated. If any interactive user password hash does not begin with `$6`, this is a finding.
Rationale	Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised.

Description	If an account is configured for password authentication but does not have an assigned password, it may be possible to log into the account without authentication. Remove any instances of the `nullok` in `/etc/pam.d/system-auth` and `/etc/pam.d/password-auth` to prevent logins with empty passwords.
Rationale	If an account has an empty password, anyone could log in and run commands with the privileges of that account. Accounts with empty passwords should never be used in operational environments.
Warnings	warning If the system relies on `authselect` tool to manage PAM settings, the remediation will also use `authselect` tool. However, if any manual modification was made in PAM files, the `authselect` integrity check will fail and the remediation will be aborted in order to preserve intentional changes. In this case, an informative message will be shown in the remediation report. Note that this rule is not applicable for systems running within a container. Having user with empty password within a container is not considered a risk, because it should not be possible to directly login into a container anyway.

Description	If any account other than root has a UID of 0, this misconfiguration should be investigated and the accounts other than root should be removed or have their UID changed. If the account is associated with system commands or applications the UID should be changed to one greater than "0" but less than "1000." Otherwise assign a UID greater than "1000" that has not already been assigned.
Rationale	An account has root authority if it has a UID of 0. Multiple accounts with a UID of 0 afford more opportunity for potential intruders to guess a password for a privileged account. Proper configuration of sudo is recommended to afford multiple system administrators access to root privileges in an accountable manner.

Description	Enterprise Application tends to use the server or virtual machine exclusively. Besides the default operating system user, there should be only authorized local users required by the installed software groups and applications that exist on the operating system. The authorized user list can be customized in the refine value variable `var_accounts_authorized_local_users_regex`. OVAL regular expression is used for the user list. Configure the system so all accounts on the system are assigned to an active system, application, or user account. Remove accounts that do not support approved system activities or that allow for a normal user to perform administrative-level actions. To remove unauthorized system accounts, use the following command: $ sudo userdel unauthorized_user
Rationale	Accounts providing no operational purpose provide additional opportunities for system compromise. Unnecessary accounts include user accounts for individuals not requiring access to the system and application accounts for applications not installed on the system.
Warnings	warning Automatic remediation of this control is not available due to the unique requirements of each system.

Description	Remove the `UMASK` environment variable from all interactive users initialization files.
Rationale	The umask controls the default access mode assigned to newly created files. A umask of 077 limits new files to mode 700 or less permissive. Although umask can be represented as a four-digit number, the first digit representing special access modes is typically ignored or required to be 0. This requirement applies to the globally configured system defaults and the local interactive user defaults for each account on the system.

Description	Ensure that all interactive user initialization files executable search path statements do not contain statements that will reference a working directory other than the users home directory.
Rationale	The executable search path (typically the PATH environment variable) contains a list of directories for the shell to search to find executables. If this path includes the current working directory (other than the users home directory), executables in these directories may be executed instead of system commands. This variable is formatted as a colon-separated list of directories. If there is an empty entry, such as a leading or trailing colon or two consecutive colons, this is interpreted as the current working directory. If deviations from the default system search path for the local interactive user are required, they must be documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO).

Description	Assign home directories to all interactive users that currently do not have a home directory assigned. This rule checks if the home directory is properly defined in a folder which has at least one parent folder, like "user" in "/home/user" or "/remote/users/user". Therefore, this rule will report a finding for home directories like `/users`, `/tmp` or `/`.
Rationale	If local interactive users are not assigned a valid home directory, there is no place for the storage and control of files they should own.

Description	Create home directories to all interactive users that currently do not have a home directory assigned. Use the following commands to create the user home directory assigned in `/etc/passwd`: $ sudo mkdir /home/USER
Rationale	If a local interactive user has a home directory defined that does not exist, the user may be given access to the / directory as the current working directory upon logon. This could create a Denial of Service because the user would not be able to access their logon configuration files, and it may give them visibility to system files they normally would not be able to access.

Description	Configure user authentication setup to use the `authselect` tool. If authselect profile is selected, the rule will enable the sssd profile.
Rationale	Authselect is a successor to authconfig. It is a tool to select system authentication and identity sources from a list of supported profiles instead of letting the administrator manually build the PAM stack. That way, it avoids potential breakage of configuration, as it ships several tested profiles that are well tested and supported to solve different use-cases.
Warnings	warning If the `sudo authselect select` command returns an error informing that the chosen profile cannot be selected, it is probably because PAM files have already been modified by the administrator. If this is the case, in order to not overwrite the desired changes made by the administrator, the current PAM settings should be investigated before forcing the selection of the chosen authselect profile.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chmod -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chmod -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lremovexattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lremovexattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lremovexattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lremovexattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lsetxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lsetxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S setxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S setxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S setxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S setxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S setxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S setxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S setxattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S setxattr -F auid=0 -F key=perm_mod
Rationale	The changing of file permissions could indicate that a user is attempting to gain access to information that would otherwise be disallowed. Auditing DAC modifications can facilitate the identification of patterns of abuse among both authorized and unauthorized users.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect any execution attempt of the `chcon` command for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chcon -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chcon -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threats. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability. As such, motivation exists to monitor these programs for unusual activity.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file deletion events for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S rename -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=delete If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S rename -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=delete
Rationale	Auditing file deletions will create an audit trail for files that are removed from the system. The audit trail could aid in system troubleshooting, as well as, detecting malicious processes that attempt to delete log files to conceal their presence.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file deletion events for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S renameat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=delete If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S renameat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=delete
Rationale	Auditing file deletions will create an audit trail for files that are removed from the system. The audit trail could aid in system troubleshooting, as well as, detecting malicious processes that attempt to delete log files to conceal their presence.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect file deletion events for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S unlink -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=delete If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S unlink -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=delete
Rationale	Auditing file deletions will create an audit trail for files that are removed from the system. The audit trail could aid in system troubleshooting, as well as, detecting malicious processes that attempt to delete log files to conceal their presence.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S creat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S creat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S creat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S creat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S creat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S creat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S creat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S creat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
Rationale	Unsuccessful attempts to access files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
Rationale	Unsuccessful attempts to access files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at,truncate,ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at,truncate,ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at,truncate,ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at,truncate,ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
Rationale	Unsuccessful attempts to access files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines: -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
Rationale	Unsuccessful attempts to access files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the system calls have been placed independent of other system calls. Grouping these system calls with others as identifying earlier in this guide is more efficient.

Description	To capture kernel module unloading events, use following line, setting ARCH to either b32 for 32-bit system, or having two lines for both b32 and b64 in case your system is 64-bit: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S delete_module -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=modules Place to add the line depends on a way `auditd` daemon is configured. If it is configured to use the `augenrules` program (the default), add the line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility, add the line to file `/etc/audit/audit.rules`.
Rationale	The removal of kernel modules can be used to alter the behavior of the kernel and potentially introduce malicious code into kernel space. It is important to have an audit trail of modules that have been introduced into the kernel.

Description	To capture kernel module loading events, use following line, setting ARCH to either b32 for 32-bit system, or having two lines for both b32 and b64 in case your system is 64-bit: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S init_module -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=modules Place to add the line depends on a way `auditd` daemon is configured. If it is configured to use the `augenrules` program (the default), add the line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility, add the line to file `/etc/audit/audit.rules`.
Rationale	The addition of kernel modules can be used to alter the behavior of the kernel and potentially introduce malicious code into kernel space. It is important to have an audit trail of modules that have been introduced into the kernel.

Description	The audit system already collects login information for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d` in order to watch for attempted manual edits of files involved in storing logon events: -w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file in order to watch for unattempted manual edits of files involved in storing logon events: -w /var/log/lastlog -p wa -k logins
Rationale	Manual editing of these files may indicate nefarious activity, such as an attacker attempting to remove evidence of an intrusion.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add a line of the following form to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chage -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add a line of the following form to `/etc/audit/audit.rules`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chage -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threats. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add a line of the following form to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chsh -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add a line of the following form to `/etc/audit/audit.rules`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chsh -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threats. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability. As such, motivation exists to monitor these programs for unusual activity.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add a line of the following form to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/newgrp -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add a line of the following form to `/etc/audit/audit.rules`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/newgrp -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threats. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability. As such, motivation exists to monitor these programs for unusual activity.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect any execution attempt of the `ssh-agent` command for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-ssh-agent If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-ssh-agent
Rationale	Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add a line of the following form to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-keysign -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add a line of the following form to `/etc/audit/audit.rules`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-keysign -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threats. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability. As such, motivation exists to monitor these programs for unusual activity.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add a line of the following form to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add a line of the following form to `/etc/audit/audit.rules`: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threats. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability. As such, motivation exists to monitor these programs for unusual activity.

Description	Configure kernel to prevent modification of login UIDs once they are set. Changing login UIDs while this configuration is enforced requires special capabilities which are not available to unprivileged users. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d` in order to make login UIDs immutable: --loginuid-immutable If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file in order to make login UIDs immutable: --loginuid-immutable
Rationale	If modification of login UIDs is not prevented, they can be changed by unprivileged users and make auditing complicated or impossible.

Description	At a minimum, the audit system should collect media exportation events for all users and root. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S mount -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=export If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file, setting ARCH to either b32 or b64 as appropriate for your system: -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -S mount -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=export
Rationale	The unauthorized exportation of data to external media could result in an information leak where classified information, Privacy Act information, and intellectual property could be lost. An audit trail should be created each time a filesystem is mounted to help identify and guard against information loss.

Rationale	The actions taken by system administrators should be audited to keep a record of what was executed on the system, as well as, for accountability purposes. Editing the sudoers file may be sign of an attacker trying to establish persistent methods to a system, auditing the editing of the sudoers files mitigates this risk.

Description	Verify the system generates an audit record when privileged functions are executed. If audit is using the "auditctl" tool to load the rules, run the following command: $ sudo grep execve /etc/audit/audit.rules If audit is using the "augenrules" tool to load the rules, run the following command: $ sudo grep -r execve /etc/audit/rules.d -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S execve -C uid!=euid -F euid=0 -k setuid -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -C uid!=euid -F euid=0 -k setuid -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S execve -C gid!=egid -F egid=0 -k setgid -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -C gid!=egid -F egid=0 -k setgid If both the "b32" and "b64" audit rules for "SUID" files are not defined, this is a finding. If both the "b32" and "b64" audit rules for "SGID" files are not defined, this is a finding.
Rationale	Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider threats and the advanced persistent threat.
Warnings	warning Note that these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect.

Description	If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`, in order to capture events that modify account changes: -w /etc/group -p wa -k audit_rules_usergroup_modification If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file, in order to capture events that modify account changes: -w /etc/group -p wa -k audit_rules_usergroup_modification
Rationale	In addition to auditing new user and group accounts, these watches will alert the system administrator(s) to any modifications. Any unexpected users, groups, or modifications should be investigated for legitimacy.

Description	If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following lines to a file with suffix `.rules` in the directory `/etc/audit/rules.d`, in order to capture events that modify account changes: -w /etc/passwd -p wa -k audit_rules_usergroup_modification If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `auditctl` utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following lines to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file, in order to capture events that modify account changes: -w /etc/passwd -p wa -k audit_rules_usergroup_modification
Rationale	In addition to auditing new user and group accounts, these watches will alert the system administrator(s) to any modifications. Any unexpected users, groups, or modifications should be investigated for legitimacy.

Description	All audit directories must be group owned by root user. By default, the path for audit log is /var/log/audit/ . To properly set the group owner of `/var/log/audit`, run the command: $ sudo chgrp root /var/log/audit If `log_group` in `/etc/audit/auditd.conf` is set to a group other than the `root` group account, change the group ownership of the audit directories to this specific group.
Rationale	Unauthorized disclosure of audit records can reveal system and configuration data to attackers, thus compromising its confidentiality.

Description	Verify the audit log directories have a mode of "0700" or less permissive by first determining where the audit logs are stored with the following command: $ sudo grep -iw log_file /etc/audit/auditd.conf log_file = /var/log/audit/audit.log Configure the audit log directory to be protected from unauthorized read access by setting the correct permissive mode with the following command: $ sudo chmod 0700 audit_log_directory By default, `audit_log_directory` is "/var/log/audit".
Rationale	If users can write to audit logs, audit trails can be modified or destroyed.

Description	All audit logs must be group owned by root user. The path for audit log can be configured via `log_file` parameter in /etc/audit/auditd.conf or, by default, the path for audit log is /var/log/audit/ . To properly set the group owner of `/var/log/audit/`, run the command: $ sudo chgrp root /var/log/audit/ If `log_group` in `/etc/audit/auditd.conf` is set to a group other than the `root` group account, change the group ownership of the audit logs to this specific group.
Rationale	Unauthorized disclosure of audit records can reveal system and configuration data to attackers, thus compromising its confidentiality.

Description	The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 operating system must allocate audit record storage capacity to store at least one weeks worth of audit records when audit records are not immediately sent to a central audit record storage facility. The partition size needed to capture a week's worth of audit records is based on the activity level of the system and the total storage capacity available. In normal circumstances, 10.0 GB of storage space for audit records will be sufficient. Determine which partition the audit records are being written to with the following command: $ sudo grep log_file /etc/audit/auditd.conf log_file = /var/log/audit/audit.log Check the size of the partition that audit records are written to with the following command: $ sudo df -h /var/log/audit/ /dev/sda2 24G 10.4G 13.6G 43% /var/log/audit
Rationale	Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Description	The `auditd` service can be configured to take an action when there is a disk error. Edit the file `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`. Add or modify the following line, substituting ACTION appropriately: disk_error_action = ACTION Set this value to `single` to cause the system to switch to single-user mode for corrective action. Acceptable values also include `syslog`, `exec`, `single`, and `halt`. For certain systems, the need for availability outweighs the need to log all actions, and a different setting should be determined. Details regarding all possible values for ACTION are described in the `auditd.conf` man page.
Rationale	Taking appropriate action in case of disk errors will minimize the possibility of losing audit records.

Description	The `auditd` service can be configured to take an action when disk space is running low but prior to running out of space completely. Edit the file `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`. Add or modify the following line, substituting ACTION appropriately: disk_full_action = ACTION Set this value to `single` to cause the system to switch to single-user mode for corrective action. Acceptable values also include `syslog`, `exec`, `single`, and `halt`. For certain systems, the need for availability outweighs the need to log all actions, and a different setting should be determined. Details regarding all possible values for ACTION are described in the `auditd.conf` man page.
Rationale	Taking appropriate action in case of a filled audit storage volume will minimize the possibility of losing audit records.

Description	The `auditd` service is an essential userspace component of the Linux Auditing System, as it is responsible for writing audit records to disk. The `auditd` service can be enabled with the following command: $ sudo systemctl enable auditd.service
Rationale	Without establishing what type of events occurred, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. Ensuring the `auditd` service is active ensures audit records generated by the kernel are appropriately recorded. Additionally, a properly configured audit subsystem ensures that actions of individual system users can be uniquely traced to those users so they can be held accountable for their actions.

Description	To ensure all processes can be audited, even those which start prior to the audit daemon, add the argument `audit=1` to the default GRUB 2 command line for the Linux operating system. To ensure that `audit=1` is added as a kernel command line argument to newly installed kernels, add `audit=1` to the default Grub2 command line for Linux operating systems. Modify the line within `/etc/default/grub` as shown below: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... audit=1 ..." Run the following command to update command line for already installed kernels: # grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="audit=1"
Rationale	Each process on the system carries an "auditable" flag which indicates whether its activities can be audited. Although `auditd` takes care of enabling this for all processes which launch after it does, adding the kernel argument ensures it is set for every process during boot.

Description	To improve the kernel capacity to queue all log events, even those which occurred prior to the audit daemon, add the argument `audit_backlog_limit=8192` to the default GRUB 2 command line for the Linux operating system. To ensure that `audit_backlog_limit=8192` is added as a kernel command line argument to newly installed kernels, add `audit_backlog_limit=8192` to the default Grub2 command line for Linux operating systems. Modify the line within `/etc/default/grub` as shown below: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... audit_backlog_limit=8192 ..." Run the following command to update command line for already installed kernels: # grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="audit_backlog_limit=8192"
Rationale	audit_backlog_limit sets the queue length for audit events awaiting transfer to the audit daemon. Until the audit daemon is up and running, all log messages are stored in this queue. If the queue is overrun during boot process, the action defined by audit failure flag is taken.

Description	The grub2 boot loader should have a superuser account and password protection enabled to protect boot-time settings. To maximize the protection, select a password-protected superuser account with unique name, and modify the `/etc/grub.d/01_users` configuration file to reflect the account name change. Do not to use common administrator account names like root, admin, or administrator for the grub2 superuser account. Change the superuser to a different username (The default is 'root'). $ sed -i 's/$set superuser=$.*/\1"<unique user ID>"/g' /etc/grub.d/01_users Once the superuser account has been added, update the `grub.cfg` file by running: grubby --update-kernel=ALL --env=/boot/grub2/grubenv
Rationale	Having a non-default grub superuser username makes password-guessing attacks less effective.
Warnings	warning To prevent hard-coded admin usernames, automatic remediation of this control is not available. Remediation must be automated as a component of machine provisioning, or followed manually as outlined above. Also, do NOT manually add the superuser account and password to the `grub.cfg` file as the grub2-mkconfig command overwrites this file.

Description	The grub2 boot loader should have a superuser account and password protection enabled to protect boot-time settings. Since plaintext passwords are a security risk, generate a hash for the password by running the following command: # grub2-setpassword When prompted, enter the password that was selected.
Rationale	Password protection on the boot loader configuration ensures users with physical access cannot trivially alter important bootloader settings. These include which kernel to use, and whether to enter single-user mode.

Description	To enable Kernel page-table isolation, add the argument `pti=on` to the default GRUB 2 command line for the Linux operating system. To ensure that `pti=on` is added as a kernel command line argument to newly installed kernels, add `pti=on` to the default Grub2 command line for Linux operating systems.

Description	Rsyslogd is a system utility providing support for message logging. Support for both internet and UNIX domain sockets enables this utility to support both local and remote logging. Couple this utility with `gnutls` (which is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS and DTLS protocols), and you have a method to securely encrypt and off-load auditing. When using `rsyslogd` to off-load logs the remote system must be authenticated.
Rationale	The audit records generated by Rsyslog contain valuable information regarding system configuration, user authentication, and other such information. Audit records should be protected from unauthorized access.

Description	Logging of remote access methods must be implemented to help identify cyber attacks and ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies are being audited and upheld. An examples of a remote access method is the use of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) from an external, non-organization controlled network. The `/etc/rsyslog.conf` or `/etc/rsyslog.d/.conf` file should contain a match for the following selectors: `auth.`, `authpriv.`, and `daemon.`. If not, use the following as an example configuration: auth.;authpriv.;daemon.* /var/log/secure
Rationale	Logging remote access methods can be used to trace the decrease the risks associated with remote user access management. It can also be used to spot cyber attacks and ensure ongoing compliance with organizational policies surrounding the use of remote access methods.

Description	To configure rsyslog to send logs to a remote log server, open `/etc/rsyslog.conf` and read and understand the last section of the file, which describes the multiple directives necessary to activate remote logging. Along with these other directives, the system can be configured to forward its logs to a particular log server by adding or correcting one of the following lines, substituting `logcollector` appropriately. The choice of protocol depends on the environment of the system; although TCP and RELP provide more reliable message delivery, they may not be supported in all environments. To use UDP for log message delivery: . @logcollector To use TCP for log message delivery: . @@logcollector To use RELP for log message delivery: . :omrelp:logcollector There must be a resolvable DNS CNAME or Alias record set to "logcollector" for logs to be sent correctly to the centralized logging utility.
Rationale	A log server (loghost) receives syslog messages from one or more systems. This data can be used as an additional log source in the event a system is compromised and its local logs are suspect. Forwarding log messages to a remote loghost also provides system administrators with a centralized place to view the status of multiple hosts within the enterprise.
Warnings	warning It is important to configure queues in case the client is sending log messages to a remote server. If queues are not configured, the system will stop functioning when the connection to the remote server is not available. Please consult Rsyslog documentation for more information about configuration of queues. The example configuration which should go into `/etc/rsyslog.conf` can look like the following lines: $ActionQueueType LinkedList $ActionQueueFileName queuefilename $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on $ActionResumeRetryCount -1

Description	The `firewalld` package can be installed with the following command: $ sudo yum install firewalld
Rationale	"Firewalld" provides an easy and effective way to block/limit remote access to the system via ports, services, and protocols. Remote access services, such as those providing remote access to network devices and information systems, which lack automated control capabilities, increase risk and make remote user access management difficult at best. Remote access is access to DoD nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access methods include, for example, dial-up, broadband, and wireless. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 functionality (e.g., SSH) must be capable of taking enforcement action if the audit reveals unauthorized activity. Automated control of remote access sessions allows organizations to ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies by enforcing connection rules of remote access applications on a variety of information system components (e.g., servers, workstations, notebook computers, smartphones, and tablets)."

Description	The `firewalld` service can be enabled with the following command: $ sudo systemctl enable firewalld.service
Rationale	Access control methods provide the ability to enhance system security posture by restricting services and known good IP addresses and address ranges. This prevents connections from unknown hosts and protocols.

Description	Configure the `firewalld` ports to allow approved services to have access to the system. To configure `firewalld` to open ports, run the following command: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=port_number/tcp To configure `firewalld` to allow access for pre-defined services, run the following command: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=service_name
Rationale	In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable or restrict unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems. Operating systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services provided by default may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations. Additionally, it is sometimes convenient to provide multiple services from a single component (e.g., VPN and IPS); however, doing so increases risk over limiting the services provided by one component. To support the requirements and principles of least functionality, the operating system must support the organizational requirements, providing only essential capabilities and limiting the use of ports, protocols, and/or services to only those required, authorized, and approved to conduct official business.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
Rationale	An illicit ICMP redirect message could result in a man-in-the-middle attack.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
Rationale	Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest routers forward the packet along a different path than configured on the router, which can be used to bypass network security measures. This requirement applies only to the forwarding of source-routerd traffic, such as when IPv6 forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router. Accepting source-routed packets in the IPv6 protocol has few legitimate uses. It should be disabled unless it is absolutely required.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 0
Rationale	An illicit router advertisement message could result in a man-in-the-middle attack.

Rationale	Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest routers forward the packet along a different path than configured on the router, which can be used to bypass network security measures. This requirement applies only to the forwarding of source-routerd traffic, such as when IPv6 forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router. Accepting source-routed packets in the IPv6 protocol has few legitimate uses. It should be disabled unless it is absolutely required.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
Rationale	ICMP redirect messages are used by routers to inform hosts that a more direct route exists for a particular destination. These messages modify the host's route table and are unauthenticated. An illicit ICMP redirect message could result in a man-in-the-middle attack. This feature of the IPv4 protocol has few legitimate uses. It should be disabled unless absolutely required."

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
Rationale	Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest routers forward the packet along a different path than configured on the router, which can be used to bypass network security measures. This requirement applies only to the forwarding of source-routerd traffic, such as when IPv4 forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router. Accepting source-routed packets in the IPv4 protocol has few legitimate uses. It should be disabled unless it is absolutely required.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 0
Rationale	IP forwarding permits the kernel to forward packets from one network interface to another. The ability to forward packets between two networks is only appropriate for systems acting as routers.
Warnings	warning There might be cases when certain applications can systematically override this option. One such case is Libvirt; a toolkit for managing of virtualization platforms. By default, Libvirt requires IP forwarding to be enabled to facilitate network communication between the virtualization host and guest machines. It enables IP forwarding after every reboot.

Rationale	Enabling reverse path filtering drops packets with source addresses that should not have been able to be received on the interface they were received on. It should not be used on systems which are routers for complicated networks, but is helpful for end hosts and routers serving small networks.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
Rationale	ICMP redirect messages are used by routers to inform hosts that a more direct route exists for a particular destination. These messages modify the host's route table and are unauthenticated. An illicit ICMP redirect message could result in a man-in-the-middle attack. This feature of the IPv4 protocol has few legitimate uses. It should be disabled unless absolutely required.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
Rationale	Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest routers forward the packet along a different path than configured on the router, which can be used to bypass network security measures. Accepting source-routed packets in the IPv4 protocol has few legitimate uses. It should be disabled unless it is absolutely required, such as when IPv4 forwarding is enabled and the system is legitimately functioning as a router.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
Rationale	ICMP redirect messages are used by routers to inform hosts that a more direct route exists for a particular destination. These messages contain information from the system's route table possibly revealing portions of the network topology.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
Rationale	ICMP redirect messages are used by routers to inform hosts that a more direct route exists for a particular destination. These messages contain information from the system's route table possibly revealing portions of the network topology. The ability to send ICMP redirects is only appropriate for systems acting as routers.

Description	Deactivating wireless network interfaces should prevent normal usage of the wireless capability. Configure the system to disable all wireless network interfaces with the following command: $ sudo nmcli radio all off
Rationale	The use of wireless networking can introduce many different attack vectors into the organization's network. Common attack vectors such as malicious association and ad hoc networks will allow an attacker to spoof a wireless access point (AP), allowing validated systems to connect to the malicious AP and enabling the attacker to monitor and record network traffic. These malicious APs can also serve to create a man-in-the-middle attack or be used to create a denial of service to valid network resources.

Description	Determine whether the system is using local or DNS name resolution with the following command: $ sudo grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns If the DNS entry is missing from the host's line in the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file, the "/etc/resolv.conf" file must be empty. Verify the "/etc/resolv.conf" file is empty with the following command: $ sudo ls -al /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 19 08:31 resolv.conf If the DNS entry is found on the host's line of the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file, then verify the following: Multiple Domain Name System (DNS) Servers should be configured in `/etc/resolv.conf`. This provides redundant name resolution services in the event that a domain server crashes. To configure the system to contain as least `2` DNS servers, add a corresponding `nameserver ip_address` entry in `/etc/resolv.conf` for each DNS server where ip_address is the IP address of a valid DNS server. For example: search example.com nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.2
Rationale	To provide availability for name resolution services, multiple redundant name servers are mandated. A failure in name resolution could lead to the failure of security functions requiring name resolution, which may include time synchronization, centralized authentication, and remote system logging.

Description	The system should not be acting as a network sniffer, which can capture all traffic on the network to which it is connected. Run the following to determine if any interface is running in promiscuous mode: $ ip link \| grep PROMISC Promiscuous mode of an interface can be disabled with the following command: $ sudo ip link set dev `device_name` multicast off promisc off
Rationale	Network interfaces in promiscuous mode allow for the capture of all network traffic visible to the system. If unauthorized individuals can access these applications, it may allow them to collect information such as logon IDs, passwords, and key exchanges between systems. If the system is being used to perform a network troubleshooting function, the use of these tools must be documented with the Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) and restricted to only authorized personnel.

Description	System-wide shared library files, which are linked to executables during process load time or run time, are stored in the following directories by default: /lib /lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64 Kernel modules, which can be added to the kernel during runtime, are also stored in `/lib/modules`. All files in these directories should be owned by the `root` user. If the directory, or any file in these directories, is found to be owned by a user other than root correct its ownership with the following command: $ sudo chown root FILE
Rationale	Files from shared library directories are loaded into the address space of processes (including privileged ones) or of the kernel itself at runtime. Proper ownership is necessary to protect the integrity of the system.

Description	All directories in local partitions which are world-writable should be owned by root. If any world-writable directories are not owned by root, this should be investigated. Following this, the files should be deleted or assigned to root user.
Rationale	Allowing a user account to own a world-writable directory is undesirable because it allows the owner of that directory to remove or replace any files that may be placed in the directory by other users.

Description	When the so-called 'sticky bit' is set on a directory, only the owner of a given file may remove that file from the directory. Without the sticky bit, any user with write access to a directory may remove any file in the directory. Setting the sticky bit prevents users from removing each other's files. In cases where there is no reason for a directory to be world-writable, a better solution is to remove that permission rather than to set the sticky bit. However, if a directory is used by a particular application, consult that application's documentation instead of blindly changing modes. To set the sticky bit on a world-writable directory DIR, run the following command: $ sudo chmod +t DIR
Rationale	Failing to set the sticky bit on public directories allows unauthorized users to delete files in the directory structure. The only authorized public directories are those temporary directories supplied with the system, or those designed to be temporary file repositories. The setting is normally reserved for directories used by the system, by users for temporary file storage (such as `/tmp`), and for directories requiring global read/write access.

Description	All directories in local partitions which are world-writable should be group owned by root or another system account. If any world-writable directories are not group owned by a system account, this should be investigated. Following this, the files should be deleted or assigned to an appropriate group.
Rationale	Allowing a user account to group own a world-writable directory is undesirable because it allows the owner of that directory to remove or replace any files that may be placed in the directory by other users.

Description	If any files are not owned by a group, then the cause of their lack of group-ownership should be investigated. Following this, the files should be deleted or assigned to an appropriate group. The following command will discover and print any files on local partitions which do not belong to a valid group: $ df --local -P \| awk '{if (NR!=1) print $6}' \| sudo xargs -I '{}' find '{}' -xdev -nogroup To search all filesystems on a system including network mounted filesystems the following command can be run manually for each partition: $ sudo find PARTITION -xdev -nogroup
Rationale	Unowned files do not directly imply a security problem, but they are generally a sign that something is amiss. They may be caused by an intruder, by incorrect software installation or draft software removal, or by failure to remove all files belonging to a deleted account. The files should be repaired so they will not cause problems when accounts are created in the future, and the cause should be discovered and addressed.
Warnings	warning This rule only considers local groups. If you have your groups defined outside `/etc/group`, the rule won't consider those.

Warnings	warning For this rule to evaluate centralized user accounts, `getent` must be working properly so that running the command getent passwd returns a list of all users in your organization. If using the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD), enumerate = true must be configured in your organization's domain to return a complete list of users warning Enabling this rule will result in slower scan times depending on the size of your organization and number of centralized users.

Description	The `autofs` daemon mounts and unmounts filesystems, such as user home directories shared via NFS, on demand. In addition, autofs can be used to handle removable media, and the default configuration provides the cdrom device as `/misc/cd`. However, this method of providing access to removable media is not common, so autofs can almost always be disabled if NFS is not in use. Even if NFS is required, it may be possible to configure filesystem mounts statically by editing `/etc/fstab` rather than relying on the automounter. The `autofs` service can be disabled with the following command: $ sudo systemctl mask --now autofs.service
Rationale	Disabling the automounter permits the administrator to statically control filesystem mounting through `/etc/fstab`. Additionally, automatically mounting filesystems permits easy introduction of unknown devices, thereby facilitating malicious activity.

Description	To configure the system to prevent the `cramfs` kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file `/etc/modprobe.d/cramfs.conf`: install cramfs /bin/true To configure the system to prevent the `cramfs` from being used, add the following line to file `/etc/modprobe.d/cramfs.conf`: blacklist cramfs This effectively prevents usage of this uncommon filesystem. The `cramfs` filesystem type is a compressed read-only Linux filesystem embedded in small footprint systems. A `cramfs` image can be used without having to first decompress the image.
Rationale	Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the server.

Description	To prevent USB storage devices from being used, configure the kernel module loading system to prevent automatic loading of the USB storage driver. To configure the system to prevent the `usb-storage` kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file `/etc/modprobe.d/usb-storage.conf`: install usb-storage /bin/true To configure the system to prevent the `usb-storage` from being used, add the following line to file `/etc/modprobe.d/usb-storage.conf`: blacklist usb-storage This will prevent the `modprobe` program from loading the `usb-storage` module, but will not prevent an administrator (or another program) from using the `insmod` program to load the module manually.
Rationale	USB storage devices such as thumb drives can be used to introduce malicious software.

Description	The `nodev` mount option can be used to prevent creation of device files in `/dev/shm`. Legitimate character and block devices should not exist within temporary directories like `/dev/shm`. Add the `nodev` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/dev/shm`.
Rationale	The only legitimate location for device files is the `/dev` directory located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.

Description	The `nosuid` mount option can be used to prevent execution of setuid programs in `/dev/shm`. The SUID and SGID permissions should not be required in these world-writable directories. Add the `nosuid` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/dev/shm`.
Rationale	The presence of SUID and SGID executables should be tightly controlled. Users should not be able to execute SUID or SGID binaries from temporary storage partitions.

Description	The `nodev` mount option prevents files from being interpreted as character or block devices. Legitimate character and block devices should exist only in the `/dev` directory on the root partition or within chroot jails built for system services. Add the `nodev` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of any non-root local partitions.
Rationale	The `nodev` mount option prevents files from being interpreted as character or block devices. The only legitimate location for device files is the `/dev` directory located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails, for which it is not advised to set `nodev` on these filesystems.

Preventing the direct execution of binaries from removable media (such as a USB key) provides a defense against malicious software that may be present on such untrusted media. Add the `noexec` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of any removable media partitions.
Rationale	Allowing users to execute binaries from removable media such as USB keys exposes the system to potential compromise.

Description	The `nosuid` mount option prevents set-user-identifier (SUID) and set-group-identifier (SGID) permissions from taking effect. These permissions allow users to execute binaries with the same permissions as the owner and group of the file respectively. Users should not be allowed to introduce SUID and SGID files into the system via partitions mounted from removeable media. Add the `nosuid` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of any removable media partitions.
Rationale	The presence of SUID and SGID executables should be tightly controlled. Allowing users to introduce SUID or SGID binaries from partitions mounted off of removable media would allow them to introduce their own highly-privileged programs.

Description	The `nodev` mount option can be used to prevent device files from being created in `/tmp`. Legitimate character and block devices should not exist within temporary directories like `/tmp`. Add the `nodev` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/tmp`.
Rationale	The only legitimate location for device files is the `/dev` directory located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.

Description

The noexec mount option can be used to prevent binaries from being executed out of /tmp. Add the noexec option to the fourth column of /etc/fstab for the line which controls mounting of /tmp.

Rationale

Allowing users to execute binaries from world-writable directories such as /tmp should never be necessary in normal operation and can expose the system to potential compromise.

Description	The `nosuid` mount option can be used to prevent execution of setuid programs in `/tmp`. The SUID and SGID permissions should not be required in these world-writable directories. Add the `nosuid` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/tmp`.
Rationale	The presence of SUID and SGID executables should be tightly controlled. Users should not be able to execute SUID or SGID binaries from temporary storage partitions.

Description	The `nodev` mount option can be used to prevent device files from being created in `/var/log/audit`. Legitimate character and block devices should exist only in the `/dev` directory on the root partition or within chroot jails built for system services. Add the `nodev` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/var/log/audit`.
Rationale	The only legitimate location for device files is the `/dev` directory located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.

Description	The `nosuid` mount option can be used to prevent execution of setuid programs in `/var/log`. The SUID and SGID permissions should not be required in directories containing log files. Add the `nosuid` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/var/log`.
Rationale	The presence of SUID and SGID executables should be tightly controlled. Users should not be able to execute SUID or SGID binaries from partitions designated for log files.

Description	The `nodev` mount option can be used to prevent device files from being created in `/var/tmp`. Legitimate character and block devices should not exist within temporary directories like `/var/tmp`. Add the `nodev` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/var/tmp`.
Rationale	The only legitimate location for device files is the `/dev` directory located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.

Description	The `noexec` mount option can be used to prevent binaries from being executed out of `/var/tmp`. Add the `noexec` option to the fourth column of `/etc/fstab` for the line which controls mounting of `/var/tmp`.
Rationale	Allowing users to execute binaries from world-writable directories such as `/var/tmp` should never be necessary in normal operation and can expose the system to potential compromise.

Description	The `ProcessSizeMax` option in `[Coredump]` section of `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf` specifies the maximum size in bytes of a core which will be processed. Core dumps exceeding this size may be stored, but the backtrace will not be generated.
Rationale	A core dump includes a memory image taken at the time the operating system terminates an application. The memory image could contain sensitive data and is generally useful only for developers or system operators trying to debug problems. Enabling core dumps on production systems is not recommended, however there may be overriding operational requirements to enable advanced debuging. Permitting temporary enablement of core dumps during such situations should be reviewed through local needs and policy.
Warnings	warning If the `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf` file does not already contain the `[Coredump]` section, the value will not be configured correctly.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `kernel.kptr_restrict` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w kernel.kptr_restrict=1 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: kernel.kptr_restrict = 1
Rationale	Exposing kernel pointers (through procfs or `seq_printf()`) exposes kernel writeable structures which may contain functions pointers. If a write vulnerability occurs in the kernel, allowing write access to any of this structure, the kernel can be compromised. This option disallow any program without the CAP_SYSLOG capability to get the addresses of kernel pointers by replacing them with 0.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `kernel.randomize_va_space` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=2 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: kernel.randomize_va_space = 2
Rationale	Address space layout randomization (ASLR) makes it more difficult for an attacker to predict the location of attack code they have introduced into a process's address space during an attempt at exploitation. Additionally, ASLR makes it more difficult for an attacker to know the location of existing code in order to re-purpose it using return oriented programming (ROP) techniques.

Description	Reboot the system and enter the BIOS or Setup configuration menu. Navigate the BIOS configuration menu and make sure that the option is enabled. The setting may be located under a Security section. Look for Execute Disable (XD) on Intel-based systems and No Execute (NX) on AMD-based systems.
Rationale	Computers with the ability to prevent this type of code execution frequently put an option in the BIOS that will allow users to turn the feature on or off at will.

Description	To enable poisoning of free pages, add the argument `page_poison=1` to the default GRUB 2 command line for the Linux operating system. To ensure that `page_poison=1` is added as a kernel command line argument to newly installed kernels, add `page_poison=1` to the default Grub2 command line for Linux operating systems. Modify the line within `/etc/default/grub` as shown below: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... page_poison=1 ..." Run the following command to update command line for already installed kernels: # grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="page_poison=1"
Rationale	Poisoning writes an arbitrary value to freed pages, so any modification or reference to that page after being freed or before being initialized will be detected and prevented. This prevents many types of use-after-free vulnerabilities at little performance cost. Also prevents leak of data and detection of corrupted memory.

Description	To set the runtime status of the `user.max_user_namespaces` kernel parameter, run the following command: $ sudo sysctl -w user.max_user_namespaces=0 To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`: user.max_user_namespaces = 0 When containers are deployed on the machine, the value should be set to large non-zero value.
Rationale	It is detrimental for operating systems to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or system objectives. These unnecessary capabilities or services are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured. They increase the risk to the platform by providing additional attack vectors. User namespaces are used primarily for Linux containers. The value 0 disallows the use of user namespaces.
Warnings	warning This configuration baseline was created to deploy the base operating system for general purpose workloads. When the operating system is configured for certain purposes, such as to host Linux Containers, it is expected that `user.max_user_namespaces` will be enabled.

Description	The `policycoreutils` package can be installed with the following command: $ sudo yum install policycoreutils
Rationale	Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux kernel and a number of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to improve security of the Flask operating system. These architectural components provide general support for the enforcement of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those based on the concepts of Type Enforcement, Role-based Access Control, and Multi-level Security. `policycoreutils` contains the policy core utilities that are required for basic operation of an SELinux-enabled system. These utilities include `load_policy` to load SELinux policies, `setfiles` to label filesystems, `newrole` to switch roles, and so on.

Description	The SELinux `targeted` policy is appropriate for general-purpose desktops and servers, as well as systems in many other roles. To configure the system to use this policy, add or correct the following line in `/etc/selinux/config`: SELINUXTYPE=targeted Other policies, such as `mls`, provide additional security labeling and greater confinement but are not compatible with many general-purpose use cases.
Rationale	Setting the SELinux policy to `targeted` or a more specialized policy ensures the system will confine processes that are likely to be targeted for exploitation, such as network or system services. Note: During the development or debugging of SELinux modules, it is common to temporarily place non-production systems in `permissive` mode. In such temporary cases, SELinux policies should be developed, and once work is completed, the system should be reconfigured to `targeted`.

Description	The SELinux state should be set to `enforcing` at system boot time. In the file `/etc/selinux/config`, add or correct the following line to configure the system to boot into enforcing mode: SELINUX=enforcing
Rationale	Setting the SELinux state to enforcing ensures SELinux is able to confine potentially compromised processes to the security policy, which is designed to prevent them from causing damage to the system or further elevating their privileges.

Description	Configure the operating system to prevent non-privileged users from executing privileged functions to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures. All administrators must be mapped to the `sysadm_u` or `staff_u` users with the appropriate domains (`sysadm_t` and `staff_t`). $ sudo semanage login -m -s sysadm_u USER or $ sudo semanage login -m -s staff_u USER All authorized non-administrative users must be mapped to the `user_u` role or the appropriate domain (user_t). $ sudo semanage login -m -s user_u USER
Rationale	Preventing non-privileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain unnecessary access to information or privileges. Privileged functions include, for example, establishing accounts, performing system integrity checks, or administering cryptographic key management activities. Non-privileged users are individuals who do not possess appropriate authorizations. Circumventing intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms or malicious code protection mechanisms are examples of privileged functions that require protection from non-privileged users.

Description	The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (`abrt`) collects and reports crash data when an application crash is detected. Using a variety of plugins, abrt can email crash reports to system administrators, log crash reports to files, or forward crash reports to a centralized issue tracking system such as RHTSupport. The `abrt` package can be removed with the following command: $ sudo yum erase abrt
Rationale	Mishandling crash data could expose sensitive information about vulnerabilities in software executing on the system, as well as sensitive information from within a process's address space or registers.

Description	The `kdump` service provides a kernel crash dump analyzer. It uses the `kexec` system call to boot a secondary kernel ("capture" kernel) following a system crash, which can load information from the crashed kernel for analysis. The `kdump` service can be disabled with the following command: $ sudo systemctl mask --now kdump.service
Rationale	Kernel core dumps may contain the full contents of system memory at the time of the crash. Kernel core dumps consume a considerable amount of disk space and may result in denial of service by exhausting the available space on the target file system partition. Unless the system is used for kernel development or testing, there is little need to run the kdump service.

Description	The Fapolicy module must be configured to employ a deny-all, permit-by-exception policy to allow the execution of authorized software programs and to prevent unauthorized software from running.
Rationale	Utilizing a whitelist provides a configuration management method for allowing the execution of only authorized software. Using only authorized software decreases risk by limiting the number of potential vulnerabilities. Verification of whitelisted software occurs prior to execution or at system startup. Proceed with caution with enforcing the use of this daemon. Improper configuration may render the system non-functional. The "fapolicyd" API is not namespace aware and can cause issues when launching or running containers.

Description	The `krb5-server` package should be removed if not in use. Is this system the Kerberos server? If not, remove the package. The `krb5-server` package can be removed with the following command: $ sudo yum erase krb5-server The krb5-server RPM is not installed by default on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 system. It is needed only by the Kerberos servers, not by the clients which use Kerberos for authentication. If the system is not intended for use as a Kerberos Server it should be removed.
Rationale	Unnecessary packages should not be installed to decrease the attack surface of the system. While this software is clearly essential on an KDC server, it is not necessary on typical desktop or workstation systems.

Description	Kerberos is not an approved key distribution method for Common Criteria. To prevent using Kerberos by system daemons, remove the Kerberos keytab files, especially `/etc/krb5.keytab`.
Rationale	The key derivation function (KDF) in Kerberos is not FIPS compatible.

Description	Verify the administrators are notified in the event of an audit processing failure. Check that the "/etc/aliases" file has a defined value for "root". $ sudo grep "postmaster:\s*root$" /etc/aliases postmaster: root
Rationale	It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.

Description

Modify the

/etc/postfix/main.cf

file to restrict client connections to the local network with the following command:

$ sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject'

Rationale

If unrestricted mail relaying is permitted, unauthorized senders could use this host as a mail relay for the purpose of sending spam or other unauthorized activity.

Executing files from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for unprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Description	The `port` option in `/etc/chrony.conf` can be set to `0` to make chrony daemon to never open any listening port for server operation and to operate strictly in a client-only mode.
Rationale	In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable or restrict unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems. Operating systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services provided by default may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations. Additionally, it is sometimes convenient to provide multiple services from a single component (e.g., VPN and IPS); however, doing so increases risk over limiting the services provided by any one component. To support the requirements and principles of least functionality, the operating system must support the organizational requirements, providing only essential capabilities and limiting the use of ports, protocols, and/or services to only those required, authorized, and approved to conduct official business or to address authorized quality of life issues.

Description	The `maxpoll` should be configured to 16 in `/etc/ntp.conf` or `/etc/chrony.conf` to continuously poll time servers. To configure `maxpoll` in `/etc/ntp.conf` or `/etc/chrony.conf` add the following after each `server`, `pool` or `peer` entry: maxpoll 16 to server directives. If using chrony any pool directives should be configured too. If no `server` or `pool` directives are configured, the rule evaluates to pass.
Rationale	Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when conducting forensic analysis and investigating system events. Sources outside the configured acceptable allowance (drift) may be inaccurate. Synchronizing internal information system clocks provides uniformity of time stamps for information systems with multiple system clocks and systems connected over a network. Organizations should consider endpoints that may not have regular access to the authoritative time server (e.g., mobile, teleworking, and tactical endpoints).

Description	The `rsh-server` package can be removed with the following command: $ sudo yum erase rsh-server
Rationale	The `rsh-server` service provides unencrypted remote access service which does not provide for the confidentiality and integrity of user passwords or the remote session and has very weak authentication. If a privileged user were to login using this service, the privileged user password could be compromised. The `rsh-server` package provides several obsolete and insecure network services. Removing it decreases the risk of those services' accidental (or intentional) activation.

Description	The `~/.shosts` (in each user's home directory) files list remote hosts and users that are trusted by the local system. To remove these files, run the following command to delete them from any location: $ sudo find / -name '.shosts' -type f -delete
Rationale	The .shosts files are used to configure host-based authentication for individual users or the system via SSH. Host-based authentication is not sufficient for preventing unauthorized access to the system, as it does not require interactive identification and authentication of a connection request, or for the use of two-factor authentication.

Description	The `telnet-server` package can be removed with the following command: $ sudo yum erase telnet-server
Rationale	It is detrimental for operating systems to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. These unnecessary capabilities are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecure. They increase the risk to the platform by providing additional attack vectors. The telnet service provides an unencrypted remote access service which does not provide for the confidentiality and integrity of user passwords or the remote session. If a privileged user were to login using this service, the privileged user password could be compromised. Removing the `telnet-server` package decreases the risk of the telnet service's accidental (or intentional) activation.

Description	The `tftp-server` package can be removed with the following command: $ sudo yum erase tftp-server
Rationale	Removing the `tftp-server` package decreases the risk of the accidental (or intentional) activation of tftp services. If TFTP is required for operational support (such as transmission of router configurations), its use must be documented with the Information Systems Securty Manager (ISSM), restricted to only authorized personnel, and have access control rules established.

Description	If running the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) service is necessary, it should be configured to change its root directory at startup. To do so, ensure `/etc/xinetd.d/tftp` includes `-s` as a command line argument, as shown in the following example: server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
Rationale	Using the `-s` option causes the TFTP service to only serve files from the given directory. Serving files from an intentionally-specified directory reduces the risk of sharing files which should remain private.

Description	The SSH server sends at most `ClientAliveCountMax` messages during a SSH session and waits for a response from the SSH client. The option `ClientAliveInterval` configures timeout after each `ClientAliveCountMax` message. If the SSH server does not receive a response from the client, then the connection is considered unresponsive and terminated. For SSH earlier than v8.2, a `ClientAliveCountMax` value of `0` causes a timeout precisely when the `ClientAliveInterval` is set. Starting with v8.2, a value of `0` disables the timeout functionality completely. If the option is set to a number greater than `0`, then the session will be disconnected after `ClientAliveInterval * ClientAliveCountMax` seconds without receiving a keep alive message.
Rationale	This ensures a user login will be terminated as soon as the `ClientAliveInterval` is reached.

Description	Disallow SSH login with empty passwords. The default SSH configuration disables logins with empty passwords. The appropriate configuration is used if no value is set for `PermitEmptyPasswords`. To explicitly disallow SSH login from accounts with empty passwords, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: PermitEmptyPasswords no Any accounts with empty passwords should be disabled immediately, and PAM configuration should prevent users from being able to assign themselves empty passwords.
Rationale	Configuring this setting for the SSH daemon provides additional assurance that remote login via SSH will require a password, even in the event of misconfiguration elsewhere.

Description	Unless needed, SSH should not permit extraneous or unnecessary authentication mechanisms like GSSAPI. The default SSH configuration disallows authentications based on GSSAPI. The appropriate configuration is used if no value is set for `GSSAPIAuthentication`. To explicitly disable GSSAPI authentication, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: GSSAPIAuthentication no
Rationale	GSSAPI authentication is used to provide additional authentication mechanisms to applications. Allowing GSSAPI authentication through SSH exposes the system's GSSAPI to remote hosts, increasing the attack surface of the system.

Description	Unless needed, SSH should not permit extraneous or unnecessary authentication mechanisms like Kerberos. The default SSH configuration disallows authentication validation through Kerberos. The appropriate configuration is used if no value is set for `KerberosAuthentication`. To explicitly disable Kerberos authentication, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: KerberosAuthentication no
Rationale	Kerberos authentication for SSH is often implemented using GSSAPI. If Kerberos is enabled through SSH, the SSH daemon provides a means of access to the system's Kerberos implementation. Configuring these settings for the SSH daemon provides additional assurance that remote logon via SSH will not use unused methods of authentication, even in the event of misconfiguration elsewhere.

Description	The root user should never be allowed to login to a system directly over a network. To disable root login via SSH, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: PermitRootLogin no
Rationale	Even though the communications channel may be encrypted, an additional layer of security is gained by extending the policy of not logging directly on as root. In addition, logging in with a user-specific account provides individual accountability of actions performed on the system and also helps to minimize direct attack attempts on root's password.
Warnings	warning This rule is disabled on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts and Managers, it will report not applicable. RHV hosts require root access to be managed by RHV Manager.

Description	The X11Forwarding parameter provides the ability to tunnel X11 traffic through the connection to enable remote graphic connections. SSH has the capability to encrypt remote X11 connections when SSH's `X11Forwarding` option is enabled. The default SSH configuration disables X11Forwarding. The appropriate configuration is used if no value is set for `X11Forwarding`. To explicitly disable X11 Forwarding, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: X11Forwarding no
Rationale	Disable X11 forwarding unless there is an operational requirement to use X11 applications directly. There is a small risk that the remote X11 servers of users who are logged in via SSH with X11 forwarding could be compromised by other users on the X11 server. Note that even if X11 forwarding is disabled, users can always install their own forwarders.

Description	SSHs `StrictModes` option checks file and ownership permissions in the user's home directory `.ssh` folder before accepting login. If world- writable permissions are found, logon is rejected. The default SSH configuration has `StrictModes` enabled. The appropriate configuration is used if no value is set for `StrictModes`. To explicitly enable `StrictModes` in SSH, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: StrictModes yes
Rationale	If other users have access to modify user-specific SSH configuration files, they may be able to log into the system as another user.

Description	Limit the key exchange algorithms to those which are FIPS-approved. Add or modify the following line in `/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensshserver.config` CRYPTO_POLICY='-oKexAlgorithms=ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512' This rule ensures that only the key exchange algorithms mentioned above (or their subset) are configured for use, keeping the given order of algorithms.
Rationale	DoD information systems are required to use FIPS-approved key exchange algorithms. The system will attempt to use the first algorithm presented by the client that matches the server list. Listing the values "strongest to weakest" is a method to ensure the use of the strongest algorithm available to secure the SSH connection.
Warnings	warning The system needs to be rebooted for these changes to take effect. warning This rule doesn't come with a remediation, automatically changing the crypto-policies may be too disruptive. warning System crypto modules must be provided by a vendor that undergoes FIPS-140 certifications. FIPS-140 is applicable to all Federal agencies that use cryptographic-based security systems to protect sensitive information in computer and telecommunication systems (including voice systems) as defined in Section 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996, Public Law 104-106. This standard shall be used in designing and implementing cryptographic modules that Federal departments and agencies operate or are operated for them under contract. See https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.140-2.pdf To meet this requirements, the system has to have cryptographic software provided by a vendor that has undergone this certification. This means providing documentation, test results, design information, and independent third party review by an accredited lab. While open source software is capable of meeting this, it does not meet FIPS-140 unless the vendor submits to this process.

SSH server uses strong entropy to seed

Description	To set up SSH server to use entropy from a high-quality source, edit the `/etc/sysconfig/sshd` file. The `SSH_USE_STRONG_RNG` configuration value determines how many bytes of entropy to use, so make sure that the file contains line SSH_USE_STRONG_RNG=32
Rationale	SSH implementation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 uses the openssl library, which doesn't use high-entropy sources by default. Randomness is needed to generate data-encryption keys, and as plaintext padding and initialization vectors in encryption algorithms, and high-quality entropy elliminates the possibility that the output of the random number generator used by SSH would be known to potential attackers.
Warnings	warning This setting can cause problems on computers without the hardware random generator, because insufficient entropy causes the connection to be blocked until enough entropy is available.

Description	The SSH daemon should prevent remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display. The default SSH configuration for `X11UseLocalhost` is `yes`, which prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display. To explicitly prevent remote connections to the proxy display, add or correct the following line in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: `X11UseLocalhost yes`
Rationale	When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to the server and client displays if the sshd proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address. By default, sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the hostname part of the `DISPLAY` environment variable to localhost. This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.

Description	The SSH server service, sshd, is commonly needed. The `sshd` service can be enabled with the following command: $ sudo systemctl enable sshd.service
Rationale	Without protection of the transmitted information, confidentiality, and integrity may be compromised because unprotected communications can be intercepted and either read or altered. This checklist item applies to both internal and external networks and all types of information system components from which information can be transmitted (e.g., servers, mobile devices, notebook computers, printers, copiers, scanners, etc). Communication paths outside the physical protection of a controlled boundary are exposed to the possibility of interception and modification.

Description	SSH server private keys - files that match the `/etc/ssh/*_key` glob, have to have restricted permissions. If those files are owned by the `root` user and the `root` group, they have to have the `0600` permission or stricter. If they are owned by the `root` user, but by a dedicated group `ssh_keys`, they can have the `0640` permission or stricter.
Rationale	If an unauthorized user obtains the private SSH host key file, the host could be impersonated.

For example [certmap/testing.test/rule_name] matchrule =<SAN>.*EDIPI@mil maprule = (userCertificate;binary={cert!bin}) domains = testing.test
Rationale	Without mapping the certificate used to authenticate to the user account, the ability to determine the identity of the individual user or group will not be available for forensic analysis.
Warnings	warning Automatic remediation of this control is not available, since all of the settings in in the certmap need to be customized.

Description	SSSD should be configured to authenticate access to the system using smart cards. To enable smart cards in SSSD, set `pam_cert_auth` to `True` under the `[pam]` section in `/etc/sssd/sssd.conf`. For example: [pam] pam_cert_auth = True Add or update "pam_sss.so" line in auth section of "/etc/pam.d/system-auth" file to include "try_cert_auth" or "require_cert_auth" option, like in the following example: /etc/pam.d/system-auth:auth [success=done authinfo_unavail=ignore ignore=ignore default=die] pam_sss.so try_cert_auth Also add or update "pam_sss.so" line in auth section of "/etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth" file to include the "allow_missing_name" option, like in the following example: /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth:auth sufficient pam_sss.so allow_missing_name
Rationale	Using an authentication device, such as a CAC or token that is separate from the information system, ensures that even if the information system is compromised, that compromise will not affect credentials stored on the authentication device. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solutions that require devices separate from information systems gaining access include, for example, hardware tokens providing time-based or challenge-response authenticators and smart cards such as the U.S. Government Personal Identity Verification card and the DoD Common Access Card.

Description	SSSD should be configured to expire offline credentials after 1 day. Check if SSSD allows cached authentications with the following command: $ sudo grep cache_credentials /etc/sssd/sssd.conf cache_credentials = true If "cache_credentials" is set to "false" or is missing no further checks are required. To configure SSSD to expire offline credentials, set `offline_credentials_expiration` to `1` under the `[pam]` section in `/etc/sssd/sssd.conf`. For example: [pam] offline_credentials_expiration = 1
Rationale	If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.

Description	By default USBGuard when enabled prevents access to all USB devices and this lead to inaccessible system if they use USB mouse/keyboard. To prevent this scenario, the initial policy configuration must be generated based on current connected USB devices.
Rationale	The `usbguard` must be configured to allow connected USB devices to work properly, avoiding the system to become inaccessible.

Description	By removing the following packages, the system no longer has X Windows installed. `xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-server-common xorg-x11-server-utils xorg-x11-server-Xwayland` If X Windows is not installed then the system cannot boot into graphical user mode. This prevents the system from being accidentally or maliciously booted into a `graphical.target` mode. To do so, run the following command: sudo yum remove xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-server-common xorg-x11-server-utils xorg-x11-server-Xwayland
Rationale	Unnecessary service packages must not be installed to decrease the attack surface of the system. X windows has a long history of security vulnerabilities and should not be installed unless approved and documented.
Warnings	warning The installation and use of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) increases your attack vector and decreases your overall security posture. Removing the package xorg-x11-server-common package will remove the graphical target which might bring your system to an inconsistent state requiring additional configuration to access the system again. The rule `xwindows_runlevel_target` can be used to configure the system to boot into the multi-user.target. If a GUI is an operational requirement, a tailored profile that removes this rule should be used before continuing installation. warning This rule is disabled on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts and Managers, it will report not applicable. X11 graphic libraries are dependency of OpenStack Cinderlib storage provider.

Description	Systems that do not require a graphical user interface should only boot by default into `multi-user.target` mode. This prevents accidental booting of the system into a `graphical.target` mode. Setting the system's default target to `multi-user.target` will prevent automatic startup of the X server. To do so, run: $ systemctl set-default multi-user.target You should see the following output: Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target. Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.
Rationale	Services that are not required for system and application processes must not be active to decrease the attack surface of the system. X windows has a long history of security vulnerabilities and should not be used unless approved and documented.
