System and Software Integrity
Group contains 2 groups and 5 rules |
[ref]
System and software integrity can be gained by installing antivirus, increasing
system encryption strength with FIPS, verifying installed software, enabling SELinux,
installing an Intrusion Prevention System, etc. However, installing or enabling integrity
checking tools cannot prevent intrusions, but they can detect that an intrusion
may have occurred. Requirements for integrity checking may be highly dependent on
the environment in which the system will be used. Snapshot-based approaches such
as AIDE may induce considerable overhead in the presence of frequent software updates. |

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
Group contains 1 rule |
[ref]
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) is a computer security standard which
is developed by the U.S. Government and industry working groups to validate the quality
of cryptographic modules. The FIPS standard provides four security levels to ensure
adequate coverage of different industries, implementation of cryptographic modules, and
organizational sizes and requirements.
FIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules
utilize authentication that meets industry and government requirements. For government systems, this allows
Security Levels 1, 2, 3, or 4 for use on Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4.
See http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html for more information. |
Rule
Enable FIPS Mode
[ref] |
OpenShift has an installation-time flag that can enable FIPS mode
for the cluster. The flag fips: true must be enabled
at install time in the install-config.yaml file. If
this rule fails on an installed cluster, then this is a permanent
finding and cannot be fixed. Warning:
To configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 to run in FIPS 140 mode, the kernel parameter "fips=1" needs to be added during its installation.
Only enabling FIPS 140 mode during the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 installation ensures that the system generates all keys with FIPS-approved algorithms and continuous monitoring tests in place.
Enabling FIPS mode on a preexisting system involves a number of modifications to it and therefore is not supported. | | Rationale: | Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to
protect data. The operating system must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher
standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested
and validated. | | Severity: | high | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_enable_fips_mode | | Identifiers: | CCE-82540-6 | | References: | | disa | CCI-002450, CCI-000068, CCI-002418, CCI-000877 | | ism | 1446 | | nerc-cip | CIP-003-8 R4.2, CIP-007-3 R5.1 | | nist | CM-3(6), SC-12(2), SC-12(3), IA-7, SC-13, CM-6(a), SC-12 | | ospp | FCS_COP.1(1), FCS_COP.1(2), FCS_COP.1(3), FCS_COP.1(4), FCS_CKM.1, FCS_CKM.2, FCS_TLSC_EXT.1, FCS_RBG_EXT.1 | | os-srg | SRG-OS-000478-GPOS-00223, SRG-OS-000396-GPOS-00176 |

System Cryptographic Policies
Group contains 4 rules |
[ref]
Linux has the capability to centrally configure cryptographic polices. The command
update-crypto-policies is used to set the policy applicable for the various
cryptographic back-ends, such as SSL/TLS libraries. The configured cryptographic
policies will be the default policy used by these backends unless the application
user configures them otherwise. When the system has been configured to use the
centralized cryptographic policies, the administrator is assured that any application
that utilizes the supported backends will follow a policy that adheres to the
configured profile.
Currently the supported backends are:
- GnuTLS library
- OpenSSL library
- NSS library
- OpenJDK
- Libkrb5
- BIND
- OpenSSH
Applications and languages which rely on any of these backends will follow the
system policies as well. Examples are apache httpd, nginx, php, and others. |
Rule
Configure System Cryptography Policy
[ref] | To configure the system cryptography policy to use ciphers only from the FIPS
policy, create a MachineConfig as follows:
---
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig
metadata:
labels:
machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: master
name: 50-master-configure-crypto-policy

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=update-crypto-policies --set FIPS
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This will configure the crypto policy appropriately in all the
nodes labeled with the "master" role.
Note that this needs to be done for each MachineConfigPool
For more information on how to configure nodes with the Machine Config
Operator see
the relevant documentation.
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. Warning:
The system needs to be rebooted for these changes to take effect. 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, 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. | | Rationale: | Centralized cryptographic policies simplify applying secure ciphers across an operating system and

Configure Kerberos to use System Crypto Policy
[ref] | Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages.
Kerberos is supported by crypto policy, but it's configuration may be
set up to ignore it.
To check that Crypto Policies settings for Kerberos are configured correctly, examine that there is a symlink at
/etc/krb5.conf.d/crypto-policies targeting /etc/cypto-policies/back-ends/krb5.config.

Disk Partitioning
Group contains 2 rules |
[ref]
To ensure separation and protection of data, there
are top-level system directories which should be placed on their
own physical partition or logical volume. The installer's default
partitioning scheme creates separate logical volumes for
/, /boot, and swap.
- If starting with any of the default layouts, check the box to
\"Review and modify partitioning.\" This allows for the easy creation
of additional logical volumes inside the volume group already
created, though it may require making
/'s logical volume smaller to
create space. In general, using logical volumes is preferable to
using partitions because they can be more easily adjusted
later. - If creating a custom layout, create the partitions mentioned in
the previous paragraph (which the installer will require anyway),
as well as separate ones described in the following sections.
If a system has already been installed, and the default
partitioning
scheme was used, it is possible but nontrivial to
modify it to create separate logical volumes for the directories
listed above. The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) makes this possible. |
Rule
Ensure /var/log Located On Separate Partition
[ref] | System logs are stored in the /var/log directory.
Partitioning Red Hat CoreOS is a Day 1 operation and cannot
be changed afterwards. For documentation on how to add a
MachineConfig manifest that specifies a separate /var/log
partition, follow:
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/installing/installing_platform_agnostic/installing-platform-agnostic.html#installation-user-infra-machines-advanced_disk_installing-platform-agnostic
Note that the Red Hat OpenShift documentation often references a block
device, such as /dev/vda. The name of the available block devices depends
on the underlying infrastructure (bare metal vs cloud), and often the specific
instance type. For example in AWS, some instance types have NVMe drives
(/dev/nvme*), others use /dev/xvda*.
You will need to look for relevant documentation for your infrastructure around this.
In many cases, the simplest thing is to boot a single machine with an Ignition
configuration that just gives you SSH access, and inspect the block devices via
e.g. the lsblk command.
For physical hardware, a good best practice is to reference devices via the
/dev/disk/by-id/ or /dev/disk/by-path links.

Sudo, which stands for "su 'do'", provides the ability to delegate authority
to certain users, groups of users, or system administrators. When configured for system
users and/or groups, Sudo can allow a user or group to execute privileged commands
that normally only root is allowed to execute.

Account and Access Control
Group contains 7 groups and 12 rules |
[ref]
In traditional Unix security, if an attacker gains
shell access to a certain login account, they can perform any action
or access any file to which that account has access. Therefore,
making it more difficult for unauthorized people to gain shell
access to accounts, particularly to privileged accounts, is a
necessary part of securing a system. This section introduces
mechanisms for restricting access to accounts under
Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4. |
| Group
Warning Banners for System Accesses
Group contains 1 rule |
[ref]
Each system should expose as little information about
itself as possible.
System banners, which are typically displayed just before a
login prompt, give out information about the service or the host's
operating system. This might include the distribution name and the
system kernel version, and the particular version of a network
service. This information can assist intruders in gaining access to
the system as it can reveal whether the system is running
vulnerable software. Most network services can be configured to
limit what information is displayed.
Many organizations implement security policies that require a
system banner provide notice of the system's ownership, provide
warning to unauthorized users, and remind authorized users of their
consent to monitoring. |
Rule
Modify the System Login Banner
[ref] |
To configure the system login banner create a file under
/etc/issue.d
The Machine Configuration provided with this rule is generic. You may need
to adjust it accordingly to fit your usecase.
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. Such communications and work product are private and
confidential. See User Agreement for details.
OR:
I've read & consent to terms in IS user agreem't.
To address this, please create a MachineConfig object with the
appropriate text in a drop-in file in /etc/issue.d/. You can also
use the supplied remediation, which will be available based on scan results
using `oc get remediations`. The default remediation is opinionated and you
may need to adjust the MachineConfig accordingly for your use
case.
Do not try to edit /etc/issue directly as this is a symlink

Protect Physical Console Access
Group contains 2 groups and 6 rules |
[ref]
It is impossible to fully protect a system from an
attacker with physical access, so securing the space in which the
system is located should be considered a necessary step. However,
there are some steps which, if taken, make it more difficult for an
attacker to quickly or undetectably modify a system from its
console. |

Configure Screen Locking
Group contains 1 group and 1 rule |
[ref]
When a user must temporarily leave an account
logged-in, screen locking should be employed to prevent passersby
from abusing the account. User education and training is
particularly important for screen locking to be effective, and policies
can be implemented to reinforce this.
Automatic screen locking is only meant as a safeguard for
those cases where a user forgot to lock the screen. |
| Group
Configure Console Screen Locking
Group contains 1 rule |
[ref]
A console screen locking mechanism 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. |
Rule
Prevent user from disabling the screen lock
[ref] | The tmux terminal multiplexer is used to implement
automatic session locking. It should not be listed in

Disable debug-shell SystemD Service
[ref] | SystemD's debug-shell service is intended to
diagnose SystemD related boot issues with various systemctl

Protect Accounts by Restricting Password-Based Login
Group contains 2 groups and 5 rules |
[ref]
Conventionally, Unix shell accounts are accessed by
providing a username and password to a login program, which tests
these values for correctness using the /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow files. Password-based login is vulnerable to
guessing of weak passwords, and to sniffing and man-in-the-middle
attacks against passwords entered over a network or at an insecure
console. Therefore, mechanisms for accessing accounts by entering
usernames and passwords should be restricted to those which are
operationally necessary. |

Verify Proper Storage and Existence of Password
Hashes
Group contains 2 rules |
[ref]
By default, password hashes for local accounts are stored
in the second field (colon-separated) in
/etc/shadow. This file should be readable only by
processes running with root credentials, preventing users from
casually accessing others' password hashes and attempting
to crack them.
However, it remains possible to misconfigure the system
and store password hashes
in world-readable files such as /etc/passwd, or
to even store passwords themselves in plaintext on the system.
Using system-provided tools for password change/creation
should allow administrators to avoid such misconfiguration. |
Rule
Prevent Login to Accounts With Empty Password
[ref] | 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. 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. | | Rationale: | If an account has an empty password, anyone could log in and

Restrict Root Logins
Group contains 3 rules |
[ref]
Direct root logins should be allowed only for emergency use.
In normal situations, the administrator should access the system
via a unique unprivileged account, and then use su or sudo to execute
privileged commands. Discouraging administrators from accessing the
root account directly ensures an audit trail in organizations with
multiple administrators. Locking down the channels through which
root can connect directly also reduces opportunities for
password-guessing against the root account. The login program
uses the file /etc/securetty to determine which interfaces
should allow root logins.
The virtual devices /dev/console
and /dev/tty* represent the system consoles (accessible via
the Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6 keyboard sequences on a default
installation). The default securetty file also contains /dev/vc/*.
These are likely to be deprecated in most environments, but may be retained
for compatibility. Root should also be prohibited from connecting
via network protocols. Other sections of this document
include guidance describing how to prevent root from logging in via SSH. |
Rule
Verify Only Root Has UID 0
[ref] | 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. | | Severity: | high | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_accounts_no_uid_except_zero | | Identifiers: | CCE-82699-0 | | References: | | cis-csc | 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 3, 5 | | cobit5 | APO01.06, DSS05.04, DSS05.05, DSS05.07, DSS05.10, DSS06.02, DSS06.03, DSS06.10 | | cui | 3.1.1, 3.1.5 | | disa | CCI-000366 | | isa-62443-2009 | 4.3.3.2.2, 4.3.3.5.1, 4.3.3.5.2, 4.3.3.6.1, 4.3.3.6.2, 4.3.3.6.3, 4.3.3.6.4, 4.3.3.6.5, 4.3.3.6.6, 4.3.3.6.7, 4.3.3.6.8, 4.3.3.6.9, 4.3.3.7.2, 4.3.3.7.3, 4.3.3.7.4 | | isa-62443-2013 | SR 1.1, SR 1.10, SR 1.2, SR 1.3, SR 1.4, SR 1.5, SR 1.7, SR 1.8, SR 1.9, SR 2.1, SR 5.2 | | iso27001-2013 | A.10.1.1, A.11.1.4, A.11.1.5, A.11.2.1, A.13.1.1, A.13.1.3, A.13.2.1, A.13.2.3, A.13.2.4, A.14.1.2, A.14.1.3, A.18.1.4, A.6.1.2, A.7.1.1, A.7.1.2, A.7.3.1, A.8.2.2, A.8.2.3, A.9.1.1, A.9.1.2, A.9.2.1, A.9.2.2, A.9.2.3, A.9.2.4, A.9.2.6, A.9.3.1, A.9.4.1, A.9.4.2, A.9.4.3, A.9.4.4, A.9.4.5 | | nerc-cip | CIP-003-8 R5.1.1, CIP-003-8 R5.3, CIP-004-6 R2.2.3, CIP-004-6 R2.3, CIP-007-3 R5.1, CIP-007-3 R5.1.2, CIP-007-3 R5.2, CIP-007-3 R5.3.1, CIP-007-3 R5.3.2, CIP-007-3 R5.3.3 | | nist | IA-2, AC-6(5), IA-4(b) | | nist-csf | PR.AC-1, PR.AC-4, PR.AC-6, PR.AC-7, PR.DS-5 | | pcidss | Req-8.5 | | os-srg | SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227 | | pcidss4 | 8.2.1, 8.2 |

Direct root Logins Not Allowed
[ref] | To further limit access to the root account, administrators
can disable root logins at the console by editing the /etc/securetty file.
This file lists all devices the root user is allowed to login to. If the file does
not exist at all, the root user can login through any communication device on the
system, whether via the console or via a raw network interface. This is dangerous
as user can login to the system as root via Telnet, which sends the password in
plain text over the network. By default, Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4's
/etc/securetty file only allows the root user to login at the console
physically attached to the system. To prevent root from logging in, remove the
contents of this file. To prevent direct root logins, remove the contents of this
file by typing the following command:
$ sudo echo > /etc/securetty
Warning:
This rule only checks the /etc/securetty file existence and its content.
If you need to restrict user access using the /etc/securetty file, make sure
the pam_securetty.so PAM module is properly enabled in relevant PAM files. | | Rationale: | Disabling direct root logins ensures proper accountability and multifactor
authentication to privileged accounts. Users will first login, then escalate

Rule
Ensure that System Accounts Do Not Run a Shell Upon Login
[ref] | Some accounts are not associated with a human user of the system, and exist to perform some
administrative functions. Should an attacker be able to log into these accounts, they should
not be granted access to a shell.
The login shell for each local account is stored in the last field of each line in
/etc/passwd. System accounts are those user accounts with a user ID less than
1000. The user ID is stored in the third field. If any system account
other than root has a login shell, disable it with the command:
$ sudo usermod -s /sbin/nologin account
Warning:
Do not perform the steps in this section on the root account. Doing so might cause the

GRUB2 bootloader configuration
Group contains 2 rules |
[ref]
During the boot process, the boot loader is
responsible for starting the execution of the kernel and passing
options to it. The boot loader allows for the selection of
different kernels - possibly on different partitions or media.
The default Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 boot loader for x86 systems is called GRUB2.
Options it can pass to the kernel include single-user mode, which
provides root access without any authentication, and the ability to
disable SELinux. To prevent local users from modifying the boot
parameters and endangering security, protect the boot loader configuration
with a password and ensure its configuration file's permissions
are set properly. |

Configure Syslog
Group contains 1 group and 1 rule |
[ref]
The syslog service has been the default Unix logging mechanism for
many years. It has a number of downsides, including inconsistent log format,
lack of authentication for received messages, and lack of authentication,
encryption, or reliable transport for messages sent over a network. However,
due to its long history, syslog is a de facto standard which is supported by
almost all Unix applications.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4, rsyslog has replaced ksyslogd as the
syslog daemon of choice, and it includes some additional security features
such as reliable, connection-oriented (i.e. TCP) transmission of logs, the
option to log to database formats, and the encryption of log data en route to
a central logging server.
This section discusses how to configure rsyslog for
best effect, and how to use tools provided with the system to maintain and
monitor logs. |

Ensure All Logs are Rotated by logrotate
Group contains 1 rule |
[ref]
Edit the file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog. Find the first
line, which should look like this (wrapped for clarity):
/var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler \
/var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
Edit this line so that it contains a one-space-separated
listing of each log file referenced in /etc/rsyslog.conf.
All logs in use on a system must be rotated regularly, or the
log files will consume disk space over time, eventually interfering
with system operation. The file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog is the
configuration file used by the logrotate program to maintain all
log files written by syslog. By default, it rotates logs weekly and
stores four archival copies of each log. These settings can be
modified by editing /etc/logrotate.conf, but the defaults are
sufficient for purposes of this guide.
Note that logrotate is run nightly by the cron job
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate. If particularly active logs need to be
rotated more often than once a day, some other mechanism must be
used. |
Rule
Ensure Logrotate Runs Periodically
[ref] | The logrotate utility allows for the automatic rotation of

the following line in /etc/logrotate.conf:
# rotate log files frequency
daily

A host-based firewall called netfilter is included as
part of the Linux kernel distributed with the system. It is
activated by default. This firewall is controlled by the program
iptables, and the entire capability is frequently referred to by
this name. An analogous program called ip6tables handles filtering
for IPv6.
Unlike TCP Wrappers, which depends on the network server
program to support and respect the rules written, netfilter
filtering occurs at the kernel level, before a program can even
process the data from the network packet. As such, any program on
the system is affected by the rules written.
This section provides basic information about strengthening

Wireless Networking
Group contains 1 group and 8 rules |
[ref]
Wireless networking, such as 802.11
(WiFi) and Bluetooth, can present a security risk to sensitive or
classified systems and networks. Wireless networking hardware is
much more likely to be included in laptop or portable systems than
in desktops or servers.
Removal of hardware provides the greatest assurance that the wireless
capability remains disabled. Acquisition policies often include provisions to
prevent the purchase of equipment that will be used in sensitive spaces and
includes wireless capabilities. If it is impractical to remove the wireless
hardware, and policy permits the device to enter sensitive spaces as long
as wireless is disabled, efforts should instead focus on disabling wireless capability
via software. |

Disable Wireless Through Software Configuration
Group contains 8 rules |
[ref]
If it is impossible to remove the wireless hardware
from the device in question, disable as much of it as possible
through software. The following methods can disable software
support for wireless networking, but note that these methods do not
prevent malicious software or careless users from re-activating the
devices. |

File Permissions and Masks
Group contains 6 groups and 26 rules |
[ref]
Traditional Unix security relies heavily on file and
directory permissions to prevent unauthorized users from reading or
modifying files to which they should not have access.
Several of the commands in this section search filesystems
for files or directories with certain characteristics, and are
intended to be run on every local partition on a given system.
When the variable PART appears in one of the commands below,
it means that the command is intended to be run repeatedly, with the
name of each local partition substituted for PART in turn.
The following command prints a list of all xfs partitions on the local
system, which is the default filesystem for Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4
installations:
$ mount -t xfs | awk '{print $3}'
For any systems that use a different
local filesystem type, modify this command as appropriate. |

Restrict Dynamic Mounting and Unmounting of
Filesystems
Group contains 11 rules |
[ref]
Linux includes a number of facilities for the automated addition
and removal of filesystems on a running system. These facilities may be
necessary in many environments, but this capability also carries some risk -- whether direct
risk from allowing users to introduce arbitrary filesystems,
or risk that software flaws in the automated mount facility itself could
allow an attacker to compromise the system.
This command can be used to list the types of filesystems that are
available to the currently executing kernel:
$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs -type f -name '*.ko'
If these filesystems are not required then they can be explicitly disabled
in a configuratio file in /etc/modprobe.d. |
Rule
Disable the Automounter
[ref] | 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 manifest:
---
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig
metadata:
labels:
machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: master
name: 75-master-autofs-disable
spec:
config:
ignition:
version: 3.1.0
systemd:
units:
- name: autofs.service
enabled: false
mask: true
- name: autofs.socket
enabled: false
mask: true
This will disable the autofs service in all the
nodes labeled with the "master" role.
Note that this needs to be done for each MachineConfigPool
For more information on how to configure nodes with the Machine Config
Operator see
the relevant documentation.
| | 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. | | Severity: | medium | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_service_autofs_disabled | | Identifiers: | CCE-82663-6 | | References: | | cis-csc | 1, 12, 15, 16, 5 | | cobit5 | APO13.01, DSS01.04, DSS05.03, DSS05.04, DSS05.05, DSS05.07, DSS05.10, DSS06.03, DSS06.10 | | cui | 3.4.6 | | disa | CCI-000778, CCI-000366, CCI-001958 | | hipaa | 164.308(a)(3)(i), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(A), 164.310(d)(1), 164.310(d)(2), 164.312(a)(1), 164.312(a)(2)(iv), 164.312(b) | | isa-62443-2009 | 4.3.3.2.2, 4.3.3.5.1, 4.3.3.5.2, 4.3.3.6.1, 4.3.3.6.2, 4.3.3.6.3, 4.3.3.6.4, 4.3.3.6.5, 4.3.3.6.6, 4.3.3.6.7, 4.3.3.6.8, 4.3.3.6.9, 4.3.3.7.2, 4.3.3.7.4 | | isa-62443-2013 | SR 1.1, SR 1.10, SR 1.13, SR 1.2, SR 1.3, SR 1.4, SR 1.5, SR 1.7, SR 1.8, SR 1.9, SR 2.1, SR 2.6 | | iso27001-2013 | A.11.2.6, A.13.1.1, A.13.2.1, A.18.1.4, A.6.2.1, A.6.2.2, A.7.1.1, A.9.2.1, A.9.2.2, A.9.2.3, A.9.2.4, A.9.2.6, A.9.3.1, A.9.4.2, A.9.4.3 | | nist | CM-7(a), CM-7(b), CM-6(a), MP-7 | | nist-csf | PR.AC-1, PR.AC-3, PR.AC-6, PR.AC-7 | | os-srg | SRG-OS-000114-GPOS-00059, SRG-OS-000378-GPOS-00163, SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227 |

Disable Core Dumps
Group contains 4 rules |
[ref]
A core dump file is the memory image of an executable
program when it was terminated by the operating system due to
errant behavior. In most cases, only software developers
legitimately need to access these files. The core dump files may
also contain sensitive information, or unnecessarily occupy large
amounts of disk space.
Once a hard limit is set in /etc/security/limits.conf, or
to a file within the /etc/security/limits.d/ directory, a
user cannot increase that limit within his or her own session. If access
to core dumps is required, consider restricting them to only
certain users or groups. See the limits.conf man page for more
information.
The core dumps of setuid programs are further protected. The
sysctl variable fs.suid_dumpable controls whether
the kernel allows core dumps from these programs at all. The default
value of 0 is recommended. |
Rule

SELinux
Group contains 3 rules |
[ref]
SELinux is a feature of the Linux kernel which can be
used to guard against misconfigured or compromised programs.
SELinux enforces the idea that programs should be limited in what
files they can access and what actions they can take.
The default SELinux policy, as configured on Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4, has been
sufficiently developed and debugged that it should be usable on
almost any system with minimal configuration and a small
amount of system administrator training. This policy prevents
system services - including most of the common network-visible
services such as mail servers, FTP servers, and DNS servers - from
accessing files which those services have no valid reason to
access. This action alone prevents a huge amount of possible damage
from network attacks against services, from trojaned software, and
so forth.
This guide recommends that SELinux be enabled using the
default (targeted) policy on every Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 system, unless that
system has unusual requirements which make a stronger policy
appropriate. |
Rule
Ensure SELinux Not Disabled in the kernel arguments
[ref] | SELinux can be disabled at boot time by disabling it via a kernel argument.
Remove any instances of selinux=0 from the kernel arguments in that
file to prevent SELinux from being disabled at boot. | | Rationale: | Disabling a major host protection feature, such as SELinux, at boot time prevents
it from confining system services at boot time. Further, it increases
the chances that it will remain off during system operation. | | Severity: | medium | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_coreos_enable_selinux_kernel_argument | | Identifiers: | CCE-83899-5 | | References: | | cis-csc | 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 | | cobit5 | APO01.06, APO11.04, APO13.01, BAI03.05, DSS01.05, DSS03.01, DSS05.02, DSS05.04, DSS05.05, DSS05.07, DSS06.02, DSS06.03, DSS06.06, MEA02.01 | | cui | 3.1.2, 3.7.2 | | disa | CCI-000022, CCI-000032 | | hipaa | 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D), 164.308(a)(3), 164.308(a)(4), 164.310(b), 164.310(c), 164.312(a), 164.312(e) | | isa-62443-2009 | 4.2.3.4, 4.3.3.2.2, 4.3.3.3.9, 4.3.3.4, 4.3.3.5.1, 4.3.3.5.2, 4.3.3.5.3, 4.3.3.5.4, 4.3.3.5.5, 4.3.3.5.6, 4.3.3.5.7, 4.3.3.5.8, 4.3.3.6.1, 4.3.3.6.2, 4.3.3.6.3, 4.3.3.6.4, 4.3.3.6.5, 4.3.3.6.6, 4.3.3.6.7, 4.3.3.6.8, 4.3.3.6.9, 4.3.3.7.1, 4.3.3.7.2, 4.3.3.7.3, 4.3.3.7.4, 4.3.4.4.7, 4.4.2.1, 4.4.2.2, 4.4.2.4, 4.4.3.3 | | isa-62443-2013 | SR 1.1, SR 1.10, SR 1.11, SR 1.12, SR 1.13, SR 1.2, SR 1.3, SR 1.4, SR 1.5, SR 1.6, SR 1.7, SR 1.8, SR 1.9, SR 2.1, SR 2.10, SR 2.11, SR 2.12, SR 2.2, SR 2.3, SR 2.4, SR 2.5, SR 2.6, SR 2.7, SR 2.8, SR 2.9, SR 3.1, SR 3.5, SR 3.8, SR 4.1, SR 4.3, SR 5.1, SR 5.2, SR 5.3, SR 7.1, SR 7.6 | | iso27001-2013 | A.10.1.1, A.11.1.4, A.11.1.5, A.11.2.1, A.12.1.1, A.12.1.2, A.12.4.1, A.12.4.2, A.12.4.3, A.12.4.4, A.12.7.1, A.13.1.1, A.13.1.2, A.13.1.3, A.13.2.1, A.13.2.2, A.13.2.3, A.13.2.4, A.14.1.2, A.14.1.3, A.6.1.2, A.7.1.1, A.7.1.2, A.7.3.1, A.8.2.2, A.8.2.3, A.9.1.1, A.9.1.2, A.9.2.1, A.9.2.3, A.9.4.1, A.9.4.4, A.9.4.5 | | nerc-cip | CIP-003-8 R5.1.1, CIP-003-8 R5.3, CIP-004-6 R2.2.3, CIP-004-6 R2.3, CIP-007-3 R5.1, CIP-007-3 R5.1.2, CIP-007-3 R5.2, CIP-007-3 R5.3.1, CIP-007-3 R5.3.2, CIP-007-3 R5.3.3 | | nist | AC-3, AC-3(3)(a) | | nist-csf | DE.AE-1, ID.AM-3, PR.AC-4, PR.AC-5, PR.AC-6, PR.DS-5, PR.PT-1, PR.PT-3, PR.PT-4 | | app-srg-ctr | SRG-APP-000233-CTR-000585, CNTR-OS-000540 | | bsi | APP.4.4.A4, SYS.1.6.A3, SYS.1.6.A18, SYS.1.6.A21 |

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

The best protection against vulnerable software is running less software. This section describes how to review
the software which Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 installs on a system and disable software which is not needed. It
then enumerates the software packages installed on a default Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 system and provides guidance about which
ones can be safely disabled.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 provides a convenient minimal install option that essentially installs the bare necessities for a functional

Network Time Protocol
Group contains 6 rules |
[ref]
The Network Time Protocol is used to manage the system
clock over a network. Computer clocks are not very accurate, so
time will drift unpredictably on unmanaged systems. Central time
protocols can be used both to ensure that time is consistent among
a network of systems, and that their time is consistent with the
outside world.
If every system on a network reliably reports the same time, then it is much
easier to correlate log messages in case of an attack. In addition, a number of
cryptographic protocols (such as Kerberos) use timestamps to prevent certain
types of attacks. If your network does not have synchronized time, these
protocols may be unreliable or even unusable.
Depending on the specifics of the network, global time accuracy may be just as
important as local synchronization, or not very important at all. If your
network is connected to the Internet, using a public timeserver (or one
provided by your enterprise) provides globally accurate timestamps which may be
essential in investigating or responding to an attack which originated outside
of your network.
A typical network setup involves a small number of internal systems operating
as NTP servers, and the remainder obtaining time information from those
internal servers.
There is a choice between the daemons ntpd and chronyd, which
are available from the repositories in the ntp and chrony
packages respectively.
The default chronyd daemon can work well when external time references
are only intermittently accesible, can perform well even when the network is
congested for longer periods of time, can usually synchronize the clock faster
and with better time accuracy, and quickly adapts to sudden changes in the rate
of the clock, for example, due to changes in the temperature of the crystal
oscillator. Chronyd should be considered for all systems which are
frequently suspended or otherwise intermittently disconnected and reconnected
to a network. Mobile and virtual systems for example.
The ntpd NTP daemon fully supports NTP protocol version 4 (RFC 5905),
including broadcast, multicast, manycast clients and servers, and the orphan
mode. It also supports extra authentication schemes based on public-key
cryptography (RFC 5906). The NTP daemon ( ntpd) should be considered
for systems which are normally kept permanently on. Systems which are required
to use broadcast or multicast IP, or to perform authentication of packets with

that the NTP daemon will be running and that the system will synchronize its
time to any servers specified. This is important whether the system is
configured to be a client (and synchronize only its own clock) or it is also
acting as an NTP server to other systems. Synchronizing time is essential for
authentication services such as Kerberos, but it is also important for
maintaining accurate logs and auditing possible security breaches.

for data exchanged between two systems, as well as server
authentication, through the use of public key cryptography. The
implementation included with the system is called OpenSSH, and more
detailed documentation is available from its website,

Its server program is called sshd and provided by the RPM package
openssh-server. |

Set SSH Client Alive Count Max
[ref] | 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

Set SSH Client Alive Interval
[ref] | SSH allows administrators to set a network responsiveness timeout interval.
After this interval has passed, the unresponsive client will be automatically logged out.
To set this timeout interval, edit the following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config as
follows:
ClientAliveInterval 300
The timeout interval is given in seconds. For example, have a timeout
of 10 minutes, set interval to 600.
If a shorter timeout has already been set for the login shell, that value will
preempt any SSH setting made in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Keep in mind that
some processes may stop SSH from correctly detecting that the user is idle. Warning:
SSH disconnecting unresponsive clients will not have desired effect without also
configuring ClientAliveCountMax in the SSH service configuration. Warning:
Following conditions may prevent the SSH session to time out:
- Remote processes on the remote machine generates output. As the output has to be transferred over the network to the client, the timeout is reset every time such transfer happens.
- Any
scp or sftp activity by the same user to the host resets the timeout.

Disable SSH Support for .rhosts Files
[ref] | SSH can emulate the behavior of the obsolete rsh
command in allowing users to enable insecure access to their
accounts via .rhosts files.
The default SSH configuration disables support for .rhosts. The appropriate
configuration is used if no value is set for IgnoreRhosts.
To explicitly disable support for .rhosts files, add or correct the following line in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
IgnoreRhosts yes

Limit Users' SSH Access
[ref] | By default, the SSH configuration allows any user with an account
to access the system. There are several options available to limit
which users and group can access the system via SSH. It is
recommended that at least one of the following options be leveraged:
- AllowUsers variable gives the system administrator the option of
allowing specific users to ssh into the system. The list consists of
space separated user names. Numeric user IDs are not recognized with
this variable. If a system administrator wants to restrict user
access further by specifically allowing a user's access only from a
particular host, the entry can be specified in the form of user@host.
- AllowGroups variable gives the system administrator the option of
allowing specific groups of users to ssh into the system. The list
consists of space separated group names. Numeric group IDs are not
recognized with this variable.
- DenyUsers variable gives the system administrator the option of
denying specific users to ssh into the system. The list consists of
space separated user names. Numeric user IDs are not recognized with
this variable. If a system administrator wants to restrict user
access further by specifically denying a user's access from a
particular host, the entry can be specified in the form of user@host.
- DenyGroups variable gives the system administrator the option of
denying specific groups of users to ssh into the system. The list
consists of space separated group names. Numeric group IDs are not
recognized with this variable. Warning:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) is a single-purpose container
operating system. RHCOS is only supported as a component of the
OpenShift Container Platform. Remote management of the RHCOS nodes is
performed at the OpenShift Container Platform API level. As a result,
any direct remote access to the RHCOS nodes is unnecessary. Disabling
the SSHD service helps reduce the number of open ports on each host. | | Severity: | high | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_service_sshd_disabled | | Identifiers: | CCE-86189-8 | | References: | | nist | CM-3(6), IA-2(4) | | app-srg-ctr | SRG-APP-000185-CTR-000490, SRG-APP-000141-CTR-000315, CNTR-OS-001010, CNTR-OS-001020, CNTR-OS-001030 |

System Accounting with auditd
Group contains 10 groups and 134 rules |
[ref]
The audit service provides substantial capabilities
for recording system activities. By default, the service audits about
SELinux AVC denials and certain types of security-relevant events
such as system logins, account modifications, and authentication
events performed by programs such as sudo.
Under its default configuration, auditd has modest disk space
requirements, and should not noticeably impact system performance.
NOTE: The Linux Audit daemon auditd can be configured to use
the augenrules program to read audit rules files ( *.rules)
located in /etc/audit/rules.d location and compile them to create
the resulting form of the /etc/audit/audit.rules configuration file
during the daemon startup (default configuration). Alternatively, the auditd
daemon can use the auditctl utility to read audit rules from the
/etc/audit/audit.rules configuration file during daemon startup,
and load them into the kernel. The expected behavior is configured via the
appropriate ExecStartPost directive setting in the
/usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service configuration file.
To instruct the auditd daemon to use the augenrules program
to read audit rules (default configuration), use the following setting:
ExecStartPost=-/sbin/augenrules --load
in the /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service configuration file.
In order to instruct the auditd daemon to use the auditctl
utility to read audit rules, use the following setting:
ExecStartPost=-/sbin/auditctl -R /etc/audit/audit.rules
in the /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service configuration file.
Refer to [Service] section of the /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service
configuration file for further details.
Government networks often have substantial auditing
requirements and auditd can be configured to meet these
requirements.
Examining some example audit records demonstrates how the Linux audit system
satisfies common requirements.
The following example from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Documentation available at
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/selinux_users_and_administrators_guide/index#sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Fixing_Problems-Raw_Audit_Messages
shows the substantial amount of information captured in a
two typical "raw" audit messages, followed by a breakdown of the most important
fields. In this example the message is SELinux-related and reports an AVC
denial (and the associated system call) that occurred when the Apache HTTP
Server attempted to access the /var/www/html/file1 file (labeled with
the samba_share_t type):
type=AVC msg=audit(1226874073.147:96): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2465 comm="httpd"
path="/var/www/html/file1" dev=dm-0 ino=284133 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 tclass=file
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1226874073.147:96): arch=40000003 syscall=196 success=no exit=-13
a0=b98df198 a1=bfec85dc a2=54dff4 a3=2008171 items=0 ppid=2463 pid=2465 auid=502 uid=48
gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=48 sgid=48 fsgid=48 tty=(none) ses=6 comm="httpd"
exe="/usr/sbin/httpd" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 key=(null)
msg=audit(1226874073.147:96)- The number in parentheses is the unformatted time stamp (Epoch time)
for the event, which can be converted to standard time by using the
date command.
{ getattr }- The item in braces indicates the permission that was denied.
getattr
indicates the source process was trying to read the target file's status information.
This occurs before reading files. This action is denied due to the file being
accessed having the wrong label. Commonly seen permissions include getattr,
read, and write.
comm="httpd"- The executable that launched the process. The full path of the executable is
found in the
exe= section of the system call (SYSCALL) message,
which in this case, is exe="/usr/sbin/httpd".
path="/var/www/html/file1"- The path to the object (target) the process attempted to access.
scontext="unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0"- The SELinux context of the process that attempted the denied action. In
this case, it is the SELinux context of the Apache HTTP Server, which is running
in the
httpd_t domain.
tcontext="unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0"- The SELinux context of the object (target) the process attempted to access.
In this case, it is the SELinux context of
file1. Note: the samba_share_t
type is not accessible to processes running in the httpd_t domain.
- From the system call (
SYSCALL) message, two items are of interest:
success=no: indicates whether the denial (AVC) was enforced or not.
success=no indicates the system call was not successful (SELinux denied
access). success=yes indicates the system call was successful - this can
be seen for permissive domains or unconfined domains, such as initrc_t
and kernel_t.
exe="/usr/sbin/httpd": the full path to the executable that launched
the process, which in this case, is exe="/usr/sbin/httpd".

| Group
Configure auditd Rules for Comprehensive Auditing
Group contains 8 groups and 116 rules |
[ref]
The auditd program can perform comprehensive
monitoring of system activity. This section describes recommended
configuration settings for comprehensive auditing, but a full
description of the auditing system's capabilities is beyond the
scope of this guide. The mailing list linux-audit@redhat.com exists
to facilitate community discussion of the auditing system.
The audit subsystem supports extensive collection of events, including:
- Tracing of arbitrary system calls (identified by name or number)
on entry or exit.
- Filtering by PID, UID, call success, system call argument (with
some limitations), etc.
- Monitoring of specific files for modifications to the file's
contents or metadata.
Auditing rules at startup are controlled by the file /etc/audit/audit.rules.
Add rules to it to meet the auditing requirements for your organization.
Each line in /etc/audit/audit.rules represents a series of arguments
that can be passed to auditctl and can be individually tested
during runtime. See documentation in /usr/share/doc/audit-VERSION
and
in the related man pages for more details.
If copying any example audit rulesets from /usr/share/doc/audit-VERSION,
be sure to comment out the
lines containing arch= which are not appropriate for your system's
architecture. Then review and understand the following rules,
ensuring rules are activated as needed for the appropriate
architecture.
After reviewing all the rules, reading the following sections, and
editing as needed, the new rules can be activated as follows:
$ sudo service auditd restart

Record Events that Modify the System's Discretionary Access Controls
Group contains 13 rules |
[ref]
At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission
changes for all users and root. Note that the "-F arch=b32" lines should be
present even on a 64 bit system. These commands identify system calls for
auditing. Even if the system is 64 bit it can still execute 32 bit system
calls. Additionally, these rules can be configured in a number of ways while
still achieving the desired effect. An example of this is that the "-S" calls
could be split up and placed on separate lines, however, this is less efficient.
Add the following to /etc/audit/audit.rules:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chown,fchown,fchownat,lchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr,fremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
If your system is 64 bit then these lines should be duplicated and the
arch=b32 replaced with arch=b64 as follows:
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chown,fchown,fchownat,lchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr,fremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod

Record Unauthorized Access Attempts Events to Files (unsuccessful)
Group contains 32 rules |
[ref]
At a minimum, the audit system should collect unauthorized file
accesses for all users and root. Note that the "-F arch=b32" lines should be
present even on a 64 bit system. These commands identify system calls for
auditing. Even if the system is 64 bit it can still execute 32 bit system
calls. Additionally, these rules can be configured in a number of ways while
still achieving the desired effect. An example of this is that the "-S" calls
could be split up and placed on separate lines, however, this is less efficient.
Add the following to /etc/audit/audit.rules:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S creat,open,openat,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 creat,open,openat,open_by_handle_at,truncate,ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
If your system is 64 bit then these lines should be duplicated and the
arch=b32 replaced with arch=b64 as follows:
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S creat,open,openat,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 creat,open,openat,open_by_handle_at,truncate,ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access

-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chmod -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
Warning:
Note that these rules can be configured in a
number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. Here the audit rule checks a
system call independently of other system calls. Grouping system calls related
to the same event is more efficient. See the following example:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat,setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
| | Rationale: | Unsuccessful attempts to change permissions of files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing
these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise. | | Severity: | medium | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_audit_rules_unsuccessful_file_modification_chmod | | Identifiers: | CCE-82619-8 | | References: | | disa | CCI-000172 | | nist | AU-2(d), AU-12(c), CM-6(a) |

Rule
Ensure auditd Unauthorized Access Attempts To open_by_handle_at Are Ordered Correctly
[ref] | The audit system should collect detailed unauthorized file
accesses for all users and root.
To correctly identify unsuccessful creation, unsuccessful modification and unsuccessful access
of files via open_by_handle_at syscall the audit rules collecting these events need to be in certain order.
The more specific rules need to come before the less specific rules. The reason for that is that more
specific rules cover a subset of events covered in the less specific rules, thus, they need to come
before to not be overshadowed by less specific rules, which match a bigger set of events.
Make sure that rules for unsuccessful calls of open_by_handle_at syscall are in the order shown below.
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the augenrules
program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), check the order of
rules below in a file with suffix .rules in the directory
/etc/audit/rules.d.
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the auditctl
utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, check the order of rules below in

Ensure auditd Rules For Unauthorized Attempts To openat Are Ordered Correctly
[ref] | The audit system should collect detailed unauthorized file
accesses for all users and root.
To correctly identify unsuccessful creation, unsuccessful modification and unsuccessful access
of files via openat syscall the audit rules collecting these events need to be in certain order.
The more specific rules need to come before the less specific rules. The reason for that is that more
specific rules cover a subset of events covered in the less specific rules, thus, they need to come
before to not be overshadowed by less specific rules, which match a bigger set of events.
Make sure that rules for unsuccessful calls of openat syscall are in the order shown below.
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the augenrules
program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), check the order of
rules below in a file with suffix .rules in the directory
/etc/audit/rules.d.
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the auditctl
utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, check the order of rules below in
/etc/audit/audit.rules file.

Rule
Record Unsuccessful Delete Attempts to Files - unlinkat
[ref] |
The audit system should collect unsuccessful file deletion
attempts 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.
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 unlinkat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S unlinkat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S unlinkat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S unlinkat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
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 system calls related
to the same event is more efficient. See the following example:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S unlink,unlinkat,rename,renameat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-delete

Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - postdrop
[ref] |
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/postdrop -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/postdrop -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. | | Severity: | medium | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_audit_rules_privileged_commands_postdrop | | Identifiers: | CCE-82601-6 | | References: | | cis-csc | 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | | cobit5 | APO10.01, APO10.03, APO10.04, APO10.05, APO11.04, BAI03.05, DSS01.03, DSS03.05, DSS05.02, DSS05.04, DSS05.05, DSS05.07, MEA01.01, MEA01.02, MEA01.03, MEA01.04, MEA01.05, MEA02.01 | | cui | 3.1.7 | | disa | CCI-000172, CCI-000130, CCI-000135, CCI-000169, CCI-002884 | | hipaa | 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(C), 164.312(a)(2)(i), 164.312(b), 164.312(d), 164.312(e) | | isa-62443-2009 | 4.3.2.6.7, 4.3.3.3.9, 4.3.3.5.8, 4.3.4.4.7, 4.4.2.1, 4.4.2.2, 4.4.2.4 | | isa-62443-2013 | SR 2.10, SR 2.11, SR 2.12, SR 2.8, SR 2.9, SR 6.1, SR 6.2 | | iso27001-2013 | A.12.4.1, A.12.4.2, A.12.4.3, A.12.4.4, A.12.7.1, A.14.2.7, A.15.2.1, A.15.2.2 | | nist | AU-2(d), AU-12(c), AC-6(9), CM-6(a) | | nist-csf | DE.CM-1, DE.CM-3, DE.CM-7, ID.SC-4, PR.PT-1 | | os-srg | SRG-OS-000037-GPOS-00015, SRG-OS-000042-GPOS-00020, SRG-OS-000062-GPOS-00031, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000462-GPOS-00206, SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00215 | | app-srg-ctr | SRG-APP-000495-CTR-001235, CNTR-OS-000930 |

Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - umount
[ref] |
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/umount -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=privileged
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the auditctl

| | Rationale: | Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by

Rule
Record Events that Modify User/Group Information via open_by_handle_at syscall - /etc/gshadow
[ref] | The audit system should collect write events to /etc/gshadow file 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 a2&03 -F path=/etc/gshadow -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=user-modify
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 -F a2&03 -F path=/etc/gshadow -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=user-modify
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line:
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&03 -F path=/etc/gshadow -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=user-modify
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 system calls related
to the same event is more efficient. See the following example:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat,open_by_handle_at -F a2&03 -F path=/etc/gshadow -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=user-modify

Configure auditd Data Retention
Group contains 14 rules |
[ref]
The audit system writes data to /var/log/audit/audit.log. By default,
auditd rotates 5 logs by size (6MB), retaining a maximum of 30MB of
data in total, and refuses to write entries when the disk is too
full. This minimizes the risk of audit data filling its partition
and impacting other services. This also minimizes the risk of the audit
daemon temporarily disabling the system if it cannot write audit log (which
it can be configured to do).
For a busy
system or a system which is thoroughly auditing system activity, the default settings
for data retention may be
insufficient. The log file size needed will depend heavily on what types
of events are being audited. First configure auditing to log all the events of
interest. Then monitor the log size manually for awhile to determine what file
size will allow you to keep the required data for the correct time period.
Using a dedicated partition for /var/log/audit prevents the
auditd logs from disrupting system functionality if they fill, and,
more importantly, prevents other activity in /var from filling the
partition and stopping the audit trail. (The audit logs are size-limited and
therefore unlikely to grow without bound unless configured to do so.) Some
machines may have requirements that no actions occur which cannot be audited.
If this is the case, then auditd can be configured to halt the machine
if it runs out of space. Note: Since older logs are rotated,
configuring auditd this way does not prevent older logs from being
rotated away before they can be viewed.
If your system is configured to halt when logging cannot be performed, make
sure this can never happen under normal circumstances! Ensure that
/var/log/audit is on its own partition, and that this partition is
larger than the maximum amount of data auditd will retain
normally.

Enable auditd Service
[ref] | 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 manifest:
---
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig
metadata:
labels:
machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: master
name: 75-master-auditd-enable
spec:
config:
ignition:
version: 3.1.0
systemd:
units:
- name: auditd.service
enabled: true
This will enable the auditd service in all the
nodes labeled with the "master" role.
Note that this needs to be done for each MachineConfigPool
For more information on how to configure nodes with the Machine Config
Operator see
the relevant documentation.
| | 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. | | Severity: | medium | | Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_service_auditd_enabled | | Identifiers: | CCE-82463-1 | | References: | | cis-csc | 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | | cjis | 5.4.1.1 | | cobit5 | APO10.01, APO10.03, APO10.04, APO10.05, APO11.04, APO12.06, APO13.01, BAI03.05, BAI08.02, DSS01.03, DSS01.04, DSS02.02, DSS02.04, DSS02.07, DSS03.01, DSS03.05, DSS05.02, DSS05.03, DSS05.04, DSS05.05, DSS05.07, MEA01.01, MEA01.02, MEA01.03, MEA01.04, MEA01.05, MEA02.01 | | cui | 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.6 | | disa | CCI-000133, CCI-001881, CCI-001875, CCI-000154, CCI-001882, CCI-000158, CCI-001914, CCI-000169, CCI-001464, CCI-001878, CCI-001877, CCI-001889, CCI-000135, CCI-002884, CCI-001487, CCI-003938, CCI-000132, CCI-004188, CCI-000134, CCI-000172, CCI-000130, CCI-000131, CCI-001879, CCI-001880, CCI-001876 | | hipaa | 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D), 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(C), 164.310(a)(2)(iv), 164.310(d)(2)(iii), 164.312(b) | | isa-62443-2009 | 4.2.3.10, 4.3.2.6.7, 4.3.3.3.9, 4.3.3.5.8, 4.3.3.6.6, 4.3.4.4.7, 4.3.4.5.6, 4.3.4.5.7, 4.3.4.5.8, 4.4.2.1, 4.4.2.2, 4.4.2.4 | | isa-62443-2013 | SR 1.13, SR 2.10, SR 2.11, SR 2.12, SR 2.6, SR 2.8, SR 2.9, SR 3.1, SR 3.5, SR 3.8, SR 4.1, SR 4.3, SR 5.1, SR 5.2, SR 5.3, SR 6.1, SR 6.2, SR 7.1, SR 7.6 | | iso27001-2013 | A.11.2.6, A.12.4.1, A.12.4.2, A.12.4.3, A.12.4.4, A.12.7.1, A.13.1.1, A.13.2.1, A.14.1.3, A.14.2.7, A.15.2.1, A.15.2.2, A.16.1.4, A.16.1.5, A.16.1.7, A.6.2.1, A.6.2.2 | | nerc-cip | CIP-004-6 R3.3, CIP-007-3 R6.5 | | nist | AC-2(g), AU-3, AU-10, AU-2(d), AU-12(c), AU-14(1), AC-6(9), CM-6(a), SI-4(23) | | nist-csf | DE.AE-3, DE.AE-5, DE.CM-1, DE.CM-3, DE.CM-7, ID.SC-4, PR.AC-3, PR.PT-1, PR.PT-4, RS.AN-1, RS.AN-4 | | ospp | FAU_GEN.1 | | pcidss | Req-10.1 | | os-srg | SRG-OS-000062-GPOS-00031, SRG-OS-000037-GPOS-00015, SRG-OS-000038-GPOS-00016, SRG-OS-000039-GPOS-00017, SRG-OS-000040-GPOS-00018, SRG-OS-000041-GPOS-00019, SRG-OS-000042-GPOS-00021, SRG-OS-000051-GPOS-00024, SRG-OS-000054-GPOS-00025, SRG-OS-000122-GPOS-00063, SRG-OS-000254-GPOS-00095, SRG-OS-000255-GPOS-00096, SRG-OS-000337-GPOS-00129, SRG-OS-000348-GPOS-00136, SRG-OS-000349-GPOS-00137, SRG-OS-000350-GPOS-00138, SRG-OS-000351-GPOS-00139, SRG-OS-000352-GPOS-00140, SRG-OS-000353-GPOS-00141, SRG-OS-000354-GPOS-00142, SRG-OS-000358-GPOS-00145, SRG-OS-000365-GPOS-00152, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000475-GPOS-00220 | | app-srg-ctr | SRG-APP-000095-CTR-000170, SRG-APP-000409-CTR-000990, SRG-APP-000508-CTR-001300, SRG-APP-000510-CTR-001310, CNTR-OS-000150, CNTR-OS-000180 | | anssi | R33, R73 | | pcidss4 | 10.2.1, 10.2 |
