## Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4

> with profile NIST 800-53 Moderate-Impact Baseline for Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS
> This compliance profile reflects the core set of Moderate-Impact Baseline configuration settings for deployment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS into U.S. Defense, Intelligence, and Civilian agencies. Development partners and sponsors include the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, and Red Hat. This baseline implements configuration requirements from the following sources: - NIST 800-53 control selections for Moderate-Impact systems (NIST 800-53) For any differing configuration requirements, e.g. password lengths, the stricter security setting was chosen. Security Requirement Traceability Guides (RTMs) and sample System Security Configuration Guides are provided via the scap-security-guide-docs package. This profile reflects U.S. Government consensus content and is developed through the ComplianceAsCode initiative, championed by the National Security Agency. Except for differences in formatting to accommodate publishing processes, this profile mirrors ComplianceAsCode content as minor divergences, such as bugfixes, work through the consensus and release processes.

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 CoreOS 4. 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.

## Checklist

Group Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 Group contains 52 groups and 241 rules
Group System Settings Group contains 35 groups and 88 rules
[ref] Contains rules that check correct system settings.
Group Installing and Maintaining Software Group contains 5 groups and 8 rules
[ref] The following sections contain information on security-relevant choices during the initial operating system installation process and the setup of software updates.
Group 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.
Group 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. Warning: This rule DOES NOT CHECK if the components of the operating system are FIPS certified. You can find the list of FIPS certified modules at https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/validated-modules/search. This rule checks if the system is running in FIPS mode.
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.

Group 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
    spec:
      config:
        ignition:
          version: 3.1.0
        systemd:
          units:
            - name: configure-crypto-policy.service
              enabled: true
              contents: |
                [Unit]
                Before=kubelet.service
                [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 the applications that run on that operating system. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data.

#### Rule 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. If the symlink exists, Kerberos is configured to use the system-wide crypto policy settings.
Rationale: | Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of Kerberos violate expectations, and makes system configuration more fragmented.

#### Rule Configure OpenSSL library to use System Crypto Policy [ref]
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.
Rationale: | Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of the Java runtime violates expectations, and makes system configuration more fragmented.

#### Rule Configure SSH to use System Crypto Policy [ref]
Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages. SSH is supported by crypto policy, but the SSH configuration may be set up to ignore it. To check that Crypto Policies settings are configured correctly, ensure that the `CRYPTO_POLICY` variable is either commented or not set at all in the `/etc/sysconfig/sshd`.

Group 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.
Rationale: | Placing `/var/log` in its own partition enables better separation between log files and other files in `/var/`.

#### Rule Ensure /var/log/audit Located On Separate Partition [ref]
Audit logs are stored in the `/var/log/audit` 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/audit` 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`.

For physical hardware, a good best practice is to reference devices via the `/dev/disk/by-id/` or `/dev/disk/by-path` links. Make absolutely certain that it is large enough to store all audit logs that will be created by the auditing daemon.
Rationale: | Placing `/var/log/audit` in its own partition enables better separation between audit files and other files, and helps ensure that auditing cannot be halted due to the partition running out of space.

Group Sudo Group contains 1 rule
[ref] `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. For more information on `Sudo` and addition `Sudo` configuration options, see https://www.sudo.ws.
#### Rule Install sudo Package [ref]
The `sudo` package can be installed with the following command:
    $ sudo dnf install sudo
Rationale: | `sudo` is a program designed to allow a system administrator to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow system users to get their work done.

Group 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 provided by the Operating System. For example, if you're using the DoD required text, the manifest would look as follows:
    ---
    apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1

Group 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.
Group 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 `/etc/shells`.
Rationale: | Not listing `tmux` among permitted shells prevents malicious program running as user from lowering security by disabling the screen lock.

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 manifest:

#### Rule Verify that Interactive Boot is Disabled [ref]
Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 systems support an "interactive boot" option that can be used to prevent services from being started. On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 system, interactive boot can be enabled by providing a `1`, `yes`, `true`, or `on` value to the `systemd.confirm_spawn` kernel argument.
Rationale: | Using interactive boot, the console user could disable auditing, firewalls, or other services, weakening system security.

#### Rule Disable Ctrl-Alt-Del Burst Action [ref]
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, create a `MachineConfig` similar to the following:
    apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
    kind: MachineConfig
    metadata:
      labels:
        machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: master
      name: 75-master-disable-ctrlaltdel-burstaction
    spec:
      config:
        ignition:

          files:
          - contents:
              source: data:,CtrlAltDelBurstAction%3Dnone
            mode: 0644
            path: /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/disable_ctrlaltdelete_burstaction.conf
            overwrite: true
    EOF
This will add the relevant configuration to `/etc/systemd/system.conf.d/`, thus configuring Systemd appropriately. 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. 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`.
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.

#### Rule Require Authentication for Single User Mode [ref]
Single-user mode is intended as a system recovery method, providing a single user root access to the system by providing a boot option at startup. By default, single-user mode is protected by requiring a password and is set in `/usr/lib/systemd/system/rescue.service`.
Rationale: | This prevents attackers with physical access from trivially bypassing security on the machine and gaining root access. Such accesses are further prevented by configuring the bootloader password.

Group 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.
Group 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 run commands with the privileges of that account. Accounts with empty passwords should never be used in operational environments.

#### Rule Verify No netrc Files Exist [ref]
The `.netrc` files contain login information used to auto-login into FTP servers and reside in the user's home directory. These files may contain unencrypted passwords to remote FTP servers making them susceptible to access by unauthorized users and should not be used. Any `.netrc` files should be removed.
Rationale: | Unencrypted passwords for remote FTP servers may be stored in `.netrc` files.

Group 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.

#### Rule 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 to privileged (root) access via su / sudo. This is required for FISMA Low and FISMA Moderate systems.

#### 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 system to become inaccessible.
Rationale: | Ensuring shells are not given to system accounts upon login makes it more difficult for attackers to make use of system accounts.

Group 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.
#### Rule Enable Kernel Page-Table Isolation (KPTI) [ref]
To enable Kernel page-table isolation, add the argument `pti=on` to all BLS (Boot Loader Specification) entries ('options' line) for the Linux operating system in `/boot/loader/entries/*.conf`.
Rationale: | Kernel page-table isolation is a kernel feature that mitigates the Meltdown security vulnerability and hardens the kernel against attempts to bypass kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR).

Group 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.
Group 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 log files. The frequency of rotation is specified in `/etc/logrotate.conf`, which triggers a cron task or a timer. To configure logrotate to run daily, add or correct the following line in `/etc/logrotate.conf`:
    # rotate log files frequency
    daily
Rationale: | Log files that are not properly rotated run the risk of growing so large that they fill up the /var/log partition. Valuable logging information could be lost if the /var/log partition becomes full.

Group Network Configuration and Firewalls Group contains 9 groups and 36 rules
[ref] Most systems must be connected to a network of some sort, and this brings with it the substantial risk of network attack. This section discusses the security impact of decisions about networking which must be made when configuring a system. This section also discusses firewalls, network access controls, and other network security frameworks, which allow system-level rules to be written that can limit an attackers' ability to connect to your system. These rules can specify that network traffic should be allowed or denied from certain IP addresses, hosts, and networks. The rules can also specify which of the system's network services are available to particular hosts or networks.
Group iptables and ip6tables Group contains 2 rules
[ref] 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 the `iptables` and `ip6tables` configurations included with the system. For more complete information that may allow the construction of a sophisticated ruleset tailored to your environment, please consult the references at the end of this section.
#### Rule Install iptables-nft Package [ref]
The `iptables-nft` package can be installed with the following command:
    $ sudo dnf install iptables-nft
Rationale: | `iptables-nft` controls the Linux kernel network packet filtering code. `iptables-nft` allows system operators to set up firewalls and IP masquerading, etc.

Group IPv6 Group contains 1 group and 6 rules
[ref] The system includes support for Internet Protocol version 6. A major and often-mentioned improvement over IPv4 is its enormous increase in the number of available addresses. Another important feature is its support for automatic configuration of many network settings.
Group Configure IPv6 Settings if Necessary Group contains 6 rules
[ref] A major feature of IPv6 is the extent to which systems implementing it can automatically configure their networking devices using information from the network. From a security perspective, manually configuring important configuration information is preferable to accepting it from the network in an unauthenticated fashion.
#### Rule Configure Accepting Router Advertisements on All IPv6 Interfaces [ref]
To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra` kernel parameter, run the following command:
    $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.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.all.accept_ra = 0

#### Rule Disable Kernel Parameter for Accepting Source-Routed Packets on all IPv6 Interfaces [ref]
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.

#### Rule Disable Kernel Parameter for Accepting Source-Routed Packets on IPv6 Interfaces by Default [ref]
To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_source_route` kernel parameter, run the following command:
    $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.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.ipv6.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. 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.

Group Kernel Parameters Which Affect Networking Group contains 2 groups and 15 rules
[ref] The `sysctl` utility is used to set parameters which affect the operation of the Linux kernel. Kernel parameters which affect networking and have security implications are described here.
Group Network Related Kernel Runtime Parameters for Hosts and Routers Group contains 13 rules
[ref] Certain kernel parameters should be set for systems which are acting as either hosts or routers to improve the system's ability defend against certain types of IPv4 protocol attacks.
#### Rule Disable Accepting ICMP Redirects for All IPv4 Interfaces [ref]
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."

#### Rule Disable Kernel Parameter for Accepting ICMP Redirects by Default on IPv4 Interfaces [ref]
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.

#### Rule Disable Kernel Parameter for Accepting Source-Routed Packets on IPv4 Interfaces by Default [ref]
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.

#### Rule Enable Kernel Parameter to Ignore ICMP Broadcast Echo Requests on IPv4 Interfaces [ref]
To set the runtime status of the `net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts` kernel parameter, run the following command:
    $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1
To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`:
    net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1
Rationale: | Responding to broadcast (ICMP) echoes facilitates network mapping and provides a vector for amplification attacks. Ignoring ICMP echo requests (pings) sent to broadcast or multicast addresses makes the system slightly more difficult to enumerate on the network.

#### Rule Enable Kernel Parameter to Use TCP Syncookies on Network Interfaces [ref]

To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`:
    net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
Rationale: | A TCP SYN flood attack can cause a denial of service by filling a system's TCP connection table with connections in the SYN_RCVD state. Syncookies can be used to track a connection when a subsequent ACK is received, verifying the initiator is attempting a valid connection and is not a flood source. This feature is activated when a flood condition is detected, and enables the system to continue servicing valid connection requests.

Group Uncommon Network Protocols Group contains 5 rules
[ref] The system includes support for several network protocols which are not commonly used. Although security vulnerabilities in kernel networking code are not frequently discovered, the consequences can be dramatic. Ensuring uncommon network protocols are disabled reduces the system's risk to attacks targeted at its implementation of those protocols. Warning: Although these protocols are not commonly used, avoid disruption in your network environment by ensuring they are not needed prior to disabling them.
#### Rule Disable ATM Support [ref]
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a protocol operating on network, data link, and physical layers, based on virtual circuits and virtual paths. To configure the system to prevent the `atm` kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file `/etc/modprobe.d/atm.conf`:
    install atm /bin/false
This entry will cause a non-zero return value during a `atm` module installation and additionally convey the meaning of the entry to the user in form of an error message. If you would like to omit a non-zero return value and an error message, you may want to add a different line instead (both `/bin/true` and `/bin/false` are allowed by OVAL and will be accepted by the scan):
    install atm /bin/true
Rationale: | Disabling ATM protects the system against exploitation of any flaws in its implementation.

Group 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.
Group 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.
#### Rule Disable Bluetooth Service [ref]

    metadata:
      labels:
        machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: master

          units:
          - name: bluetooth.service
            enabled: false
            mask: true
          - name: bluetooth.socket
            enabled: false
            mask: true
This will disable the `bluetooth` 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.
    $ sudo service bluetooth stop
Rationale: | Disabling the `bluetooth` service prevents the system from attempting connections to Bluetooth devices, which entails some security risk. Nevertheless, variation in this risk decision may be expected due to the utility of Bluetooth connectivity and its limited range.

#### Rule Deactivate Wireless Network Interfaces [ref]
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.

Group 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.
Group Verify Permissions on Important Files and Directories Group contains 2 rules
[ref] Permissions for many files on a system must be set restrictively to ensure sensitive information is properly protected. This section discusses important permission restrictions which can be verified to ensure that no harmful discrepancies have arisen.
#### Rule Enable Kernel Parameter to Enforce DAC on Hardlinks [ref]
To set the runtime status of the `fs.protected_hardlinks` kernel parameter, run the following command:
    $ sudo sysctl -w fs.protected_hardlinks=1
To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`:
    fs.protected_hardlinks = 1
Rationale: | By enabling this kernel parameter, users can no longer create soft or hard links to files which they do not own. Disallowing such hardlinks mitigate vulnerabilities based on insecure file system accessed by privileged programs, avoiding an exploitation vector exploiting unsafe use of `open()` or `creat()`.

To make sure that the setting is persistent, add the following line to a file in the directory `/etc/sysctl.d`:

Rationale: | By enabling this kernel parameter, symbolic links are permitted to be followed only when outside a sticky world-writable directory, or when the UID of the link and follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner. Disallowing such symlinks helps mitigate vulnerabilities based on insecure file system accessed by privileged programs, avoiding an exploitation vector exploiting unsafe use of `open()` or `creat()`.

Group 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.

#### Rule Disable Booting from USB Devices in Boot Firmware [ref]
Configure the system boot firmware (historically called BIOS on PC systems) to disallow booting from USB drives.
Rationale: | Booting a system from a USB device would allow an attacker to circumvent any security measures provided by the operating system. Attackers could mount partitions and modify the configuration of the OS.

#### Rule Disable Kernel Support for USB via Bootloader Configuration [ref]
All USB support can be disabled by adding the `nousb` argument to the kernel's boot loader configuration. To do so, Add the `nousb` kernel argument via a `MachineConfig` object. Warning: Disabling all kernel support for USB will cause problems for systems with USB-based keyboards, mice, or printers. This configuration is infeasible for systems which require USB devices, which is common.
Rationale: | Disabling the USB subsystem within the Linux kernel at system boot will protect against potentially malicious USB devices, although it is only practical in specialized systems.

#### Rule Disable Mounting of cramfs [ref]
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/false
This entry will cause a non-zero return value during a `cramfs` module installation and additionally convey the meaning of the entry to the user in form of an error message. If you would like to omit a non-zero return value and an error message, you may want to add a different line instead (both `/bin/true` and `/bin/false` are allowed by OVAL and will be accepted by the scan):
    install cramfs /bin/true
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.

If you would like to omit a non-zero return value and an error message, you may want to add a different line instead (both `/bin/true` and `/bin/false` are allowed by OVAL and will be accepted by the scan):
    install squashfs /bin/true
This effectively prevents usage of this uncommon filesystem. The `squashfs` filesystem type is a compressed read-only Linux filesystem embedded in small footprint systems (similar to `cramfs`). A `squashfs` 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 system.

#### Rule Disable Mounting of udf [ref]
To configure the system to prevent the `udf` kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file `/etc/modprobe.d/udf.conf`:
    install udf /bin/false
This entry will cause a non-zero return value during a `udf` module installation and additionally convey the meaning of the entry to the user in form of an error message. If you would like to omit a non-zero return value and an error message, you may want to add a different line instead (both `/bin/true` and `/bin/false` are allowed by OVAL and will be accepted by the scan):
    install udf /bin/true
This effectively prevents usage of this uncommon filesystem. The `udf` filesystem type is the universal disk format used to implement the ISO/IEC 13346 and ECMA-167 specifications. This is an open vendor filesystem type for data storage on a broad range of media. This filesystem type is necessary to support writing DVDs and newer optical disc formats.

#### Rule Disable Modprobe Loading of USB Storage Driver [ref]
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/false
This entry will cause a non-zero return value during a `usb-storage` module installation and additionally convey the meaning of the entry to the user in form of an error message. If you would like to omit a non-zero return value and an error message, you may want to add a different line instead (both `/bin/true` and `/bin/false` are allowed by OVAL and will be accepted by the scan):
    install usb-storage /bin/true
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.

Group Restrict Programs from Dangerous Execution Patterns Group contains 3 groups and 13 rules
[ref] The recommendations in this section are designed to ensure that the system's features to protect against potentially dangerous program execution are activated. These protections are applied at the system initialization or kernel level, and defend against certain types of badly-configured or compromised programs.
Group 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 Disable acquiring, saving, and processing core dumps [ref]
The `systemd-coredump.socket` unit is a socket activation of the `systemd-coredump@.service` which processes core dumps. By masking the unit, core dump processing is disabled.
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 trying to debug problems.

#### Rule Disable core dump backtraces [ref]
The `ProcessSizeMax` option in `[Coredump]` section of `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf` or in a drop-in file under `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/` 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. Warning: If the `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf` file or a drop-in file under `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/` does not already contain the `[Coredump]` section, the value will not be configured correctly.
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 debugging. Permitting temporary enablement of core dumps during such situations should be reviewed through local needs and policy.

Group Enable ExecShield Group contains 1 rule
[ref] ExecShield describes kernel features that provide protection against exploitation of memory corruption errors such as buffer overflows. These features include random placement of the stack and other memory regions, prevention of execution in memory that should only hold data, and special handling of text buffers. These protections are enabled by default on 32-bit systems and controlled through `sysctl` variables `kernel.exec-shield` and `kernel.randomize_va_space`. On the latest 64-bit systems, `kernel.exec-shield` cannot be enabled or disabled with `sysctl`.
#### Rule Restrict Exposed Kernel Pointer Addresses Access [ref]
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.

Group Memory Poisoning Group contains 1 rule
[ref] Memory Poisoning consists of writing a special value to uninitialized or freed memory. Poisoning can be used as a mechanism to prevent leak of information and detection of corrupted memory.
#### Rule Enable page allocator poisoning [ref]
To enable poisoning of free pages, add the argument `page_poison=1` to all BLS (Boot Loader Specification) entries ('options' line) for the Linux operating system in `/boot/loader/entries/*.conf`.
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.

Group 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.

#### Rule Configure SELinux Policy [ref]
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`.

#### Rule Ensure SELinux State is Enforcing [ref]
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
Ensure that all files have correct SELinux labels by running:
    fixfiles onboot
Then reboot the system.
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.

Group Services Group contains 4 groups and 19 rules
[ref] 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 system. When building Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 systems, it is highly recommended to select the minimal packages and then build up the system from there.
Group 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 accessible, 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 the `Autokey` protocol, should consider using `ntpd`. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol for more detailed comparison of features of `chronyd` and `ntpd` daemon features respectively, and for further guidance how to choose between the two NTP daemons. The upstream manual pages at https://chrony-project.org/documentation.html for `chronyd` and http://www.ntp.org for `ntpd` provide additional information on the capabilities and configuration of each of the NTP daemons.
#### Rule Enable the NTP Daemon [ref]
As a user with administrator privileges, log into a node in the relevant pool:
    $ oc debug node/$NODE_NAME
At the
    sh-4.4#
prompt, run:
    # chroot /host
Run the following command to determine the current status of the `chronyd` service:
    $ sudo systemctl is-active chronyd
If the service is running, it should return the following:
    active
Note: The `chronyd` daemon is enabled by default. As a user with administrator privileges, log into a node in the relevant pool:
    $ oc debug node/$NODE_NAME
At the
    sh-4.4#
prompt, run:
    # chroot /host
Run the following command to determine the current status of the `ntpd` service:
    $ sudo systemctl is-active ntpd
If the service is running, it should return the following:
    active
Note: The `ntpd` daemon is not enabled by default. Though as mentioned in the previous sections in certain environments the `ntpd` daemon might be preferred to be used rather than the `chronyd` one. Refer to: for guidance which NTP daemon to choose depending on the environment used.
Rationale: | Enabling some of `chronyd` or `ntpd` services ensures 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. The `chronyd` and `ntpd` NTP daemons offer all of the functionality of `ntpdate`, which is now deprecated.

#### Rule Disable chrony daemon from acting as server [ref]
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.

#### Rule Configure Time Service Maxpoll Interval [ref]
The `maxpoll` should be configured to 10 in `/etc/ntp.conf` or `/etc/chrony.conf` (or `/etc/chrony.d/`) to continuously poll time servers. To configure `maxpoll` in `/etc/ntp.conf` or `/etc/chrony.conf` (or `/etc/chrony.d/`) add the following after each `server`, `pool` or `peer` entry:
    maxpoll 10
to `server` directives. If using chrony, any `pool` directives should be configured too. Note that if the remediation shipping with this content is being used, the MachineConfig shipped does not include reference NTP servers to point to. It is up to the admin to set these which will vary depending on the cluster's requirements. The aforementioned remediation does include the directory `/etc/chrony.d` which would allow the creation of configuration files to set these servers. If we'd like to set a configuration like the following:
    pool 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst

    server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org minpoll 4 maxpoll 10
    server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org minpoll 4 maxpoll 10
    server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org minpoll 4 maxpoll 10
    server 3.rhel.pool.ntp.org minpoll 4 maxpoll 10

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).

#### Rule Specify Additional Remote NTP Servers [ref]
Depending on specific functional requirements of a concrete production environment, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 system can be configured to utilize the services of the `chronyd` NTP daemon (the default), or services of the `ntpd` NTP daemon. Refer to for more detailed comparison of the features of both of the choices, and for further guidance how to choose between the two NTP daemons. Additional NTP servers can be specified for time synchronization. To do so, perform the following: if the system is configured to use the `chronyd` as the NTP daemon (the default), edit the file `/etc/chrony.conf` as follows, if the system is configured to use the `ntpd` as the NTP daemon, edit the file `/etc/ntp.conf` as documented below. Add additional lines of the following form, substituting the IP address or hostname of a remote NTP server for ntpserver:
    server ntpserver

Group SSH Server Group contains 1 group and 9 rules
[ref] The SSH protocol is recommended for remote login and remote file transfer. SSH provides confidentiality and integrity 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, https://www.openssh.com. Its server program is called `sshd` and provided by the RPM package `openssh-server`.
Group Configure OpenSSH Server if Necessary Group contains 4 rules
[ref] If the system needs to act as an SSH server, then certain changes should be made to the OpenSSH daemon configuration file `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`. The following recommendations can be applied to this file. See the `sshd_config(5)` man page for more detailed information.
#### Rule 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` is reached.

#### Rule 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.
Rationale: | Terminating an idle ssh session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port that has been let unattended.

#### Rule 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.d/00-complianceascode-hardening.conf`:
    IgnoreRhosts yes
Rationale: | SSH trust relationships mean a compromise on one host can allow an attacker to move trivially to other hosts.

#### Rule 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: Automated remediation is not available for this configuration check because each system has unique user names and group names.
Rationale: | Specifying which accounts are allowed SSH access into the system reduces the possibility of unauthorized access to the system.

    $ sudo chgrp root /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Rationale: | Service configuration files enable or disable features of their respective services that if configured incorrectly can lead to insecure and vulnerable configurations. Therefore, service configuration files should be owned by the correct group to prevent unauthorized changes.

#### Rule Verify Permissions on SSH Server Private *_key Key Files [ref]
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 `0640` 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. Warning: Remediation is not possible at bootable container build time because SSH host keys are generated post-deployment.
Rationale: | If an unauthorized user obtains the private SSH host key file, the host could be impersonated.

Group USBGuard daemon Group contains 4 rules
[ref] The USBGuard daemon enforces the USB device authorization policy for all USB devices.
#### Rule Install usbguard Package [ref]
The `usbguard` package can be installed with the following manifest:
    ---
    apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
    kind: MachineConfig
    metadata:
      labels:
        machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: master
      name: 75-master-usbguard-install
    spec:
      config:
        ignition:
          version: 3.1.0
      extensions:
        - usbguard
This will install the `usbguard` package 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: | `usbguard` is a software framework that helps to protect against rogue USB devices by implementing basic whitelisting/blacklisting capabilities based on USB device attributes.
Severity: | medium
Rule ID: | xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_package_usbguard_installed
Identifiers: | CCE-82524-0

#### Rule Enable the USBGuard Service [ref]
The USBGuard service should be enabled. The `usbguard` 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-usbguard-enable
    spec:
      config:
        ignition:
          version: 3.1.0
        systemd:
          units:
          - name: usbguard.service
            enabled: true
This will enable the `usbguard` 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: | The `usbguard` service must be running in order to enforce the USB device authorization policy for all USB devices.

#### Rule Log USBGuard daemon audit events using Linux Audit [ref]
To configure USBGuard daemon to log via Linux Audit (as opposed directly to a file), `AuditBackend` option in `/etc/usbguard/usbguard-daemon.conf` needs to be set to `LinuxAudit`.
Rationale: | Using the Linux Audit logging allows for centralized trace of events.

#### Rule Authorize Human Interface Devices and USB hubs in USBGuard daemon [ref]
To allow authorization of USB devices combining human interface device and hub capabilities by USBGuard daemon, add the line `allow with-interface match-all { 03:*:* 09:00:* }` to `/etc/usbguard/rules.conf`. Warning: This rule should be understood primarily as a convenience administration feature. This rule ensures that if the USBGuard default rules.conf file is present, it will alter it so that USB human interface devices and hubs are allowed. However, if the rules.conf file is altered by system administrator, the rule does not check if USB human interface devices and hubs are allowed. This assumes that an administrator modified the file with some purpose in mind.
Rationale: | Without allowing Human Interface Devices, it might not be possible to interact with the system. Without allowing hubs, it might not be possible to use any USB devices on the system.

Group 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
Group 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
#### Rule Record Events that Modify the System's Discretionary Access Controls - chmod [ref]
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
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.

#### Rule Record Events that Modify the System's Discretionary Access Controls - fchmodat [ref]
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
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.
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.

#### Rule Record Events that Modify the System's Discretionary Access Controls - fsetxattr [ref]
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
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
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
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
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.
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.

#### Rule Record Events that Modify the System's Discretionary Access Controls - lsetxattr [ref]
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
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
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
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
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.
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.

Group Record Execution Attempts to Run SELinux Privileged Commands Group contains 6 rules
[ref] At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of SELinux privileged commands for all users and root.
#### Rule Record Any Attempts to Run chcon [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/chcon -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/chcon -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.

#### Rule Record Any Attempts to Run seunshare [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/seunshare -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/seunshare -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.

#### Rule Ensure auditd Collects File Deletion Events by User - unlink [ref]
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 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 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 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 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.

Group 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
#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Permission Changes to Files - chmod [ref]
The audit system should collect unsuccessful file permission change 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 chmod -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chmod -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Permission Changes to Files - fchmod [ref]
The audit system should collect unsuccessful file permission change 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 fchmod -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchmod -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchmod -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchmod -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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Ownership Changes to Files - fchown [ref]
The audit system should collect unsuccessful file ownership change 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 fchown -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchown -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchown -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchown -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 lchown,fchown,chown,fchownat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
Rationale: | Unsuccessful attempts to change ownership of files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Access Attempts to Files - ftruncate [ref]
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
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Ownership Changes to Files - lchown [ref]
The audit system should collect unsuccessful file ownership change 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 lchown -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S lchown -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lchown -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lchown -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 lchown,fchown,chown,fchownat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
Rationale: | Unsuccessful attempts to change ownership of files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Access Attempts to Files - open_by_handle_at [ref]
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
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.
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Creation Attempts to Files - open_by_handle_at O_CREAT [ref]
The audit system should collect unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. The `open_by_handle_at` syscall can be used to create new files when O_CREAT flag is specified. The following auidt rules will assure that unsuccessful attempts to create a file via `open_by_handle_at` syscall are collected. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rules below 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 rules below to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
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&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Modification Attempts to Files - open_by_handle_at O_TRUNC_WRITE [ref]
The audit system should collect detailed unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. The `open_by_handle_at` syscall can be used to modify files if called for write operation of with O_TRUNC_WRITE flag. The following auidt rules will assure that unsuccessful attempts to modify a file via `open_by_handle_at` syscall are collected. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rules below 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 rules below to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
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&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
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.

#### 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 `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.

If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:

Rationale: | The more specific rules cover a subset of events covered by the less specific rules. By ordering them from more specific to less specific, it is assured that the less specific rule will not catch events better recorded by the more specific rule.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Creation Attempts to Files - open O_CREAT [ref]
The audit system should collect unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. The `open` syscall can be used to create new files when O_CREAT flag is specified. The following auidt rules will assure that unsuccessful attempts to create a file via `open` syscall are collected. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rules below 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 rules below to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
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 open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Modification Attempts to Files - open O_TRUNC_WRITE [ref]
The audit system should collect detailed unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. The `open` syscall can be used to modify files if called for write operation of with O_TRUNC_WRITE flag. The following auidt rules will assure that unsuccessful attempts to modify a file via `open` syscall are collected. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rules below 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 rules below to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
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 open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
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.

#### Rule Ensure auditd Rules For Unauthorized Attempts To open 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` 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` 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.

    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-access
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-access
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-access
Rationale: | The more specific rules cover a subset of events covered by the less specific rules. By ordering them from more specific to less specific, it is assured that the less specific rule will not catch events better recorded by the more specific rule.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Access Attempts to Files - openat [ref]
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 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
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.
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Creation Attempts to Files - openat O_CREAT [ref]
The audit system should collect unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. The `openat` syscall can be used to create new files when O_CREAT flag is specified. The following auidt rules will assure that unsuccessful attempts to create a file via `openat` syscall are collected. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rules below 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 rules below to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
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&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Modification Attempts to Files - openat O_TRUNC_WRITE [ref]
The audit system should collect detailed unauthorized file accesses for all users and root. The `openat` syscall can be used to modify files if called for write operation of with O_TRUNC_WRITE flag. The following auidt rules will assure that unsuccessful attempts to modify a file via `openat` syscall are collected. If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rules below 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 rules below to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
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&01003 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification
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.

#### Rule 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.

    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S openat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-access
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F a2&0100 -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-create

    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F a2&01003 -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-modification

    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S openat -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-access
Rationale: | The more specific rules cover a subset of events covered by the less specific rules. By ordering them from more specific to less specific, it is assured that the less specific rule will not catch events better recorded by the more specific rule.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Permission Changes to Files - removexattr [ref]
The audit system should collect unsuccessful file permission change 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 removexattr -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S removexattr -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S removexattr -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccesful-perm-change
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S removexattr -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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Delete Attempts to Files - renameat [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 renameat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S renameat -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 renameat -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S renameat -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
Rationale: | Unsuccessful attempts to delete files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Access Attempts to Files - truncate [ref]
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 truncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S truncate -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 truncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S truncate -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 truncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S truncate -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 truncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S truncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access
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.

#### Rule Record Unsuccessful Delete Attempts to Files - unlink [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 unlink -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S unlink -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 unlink -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=unsuccessful-delete
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S unlink -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
Rationale: | Unsuccessful attempts to delete files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.

Group Record Information on Kernel Modules Loading and Unloading Group contains 3 rules
[ref] To capture kernel module loading and unloading events, use following lines, 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,delete_module -F key=modules
Place to add the lines depends on a way `auditd` daemon is configured. If it is configured to use the `augenrules` program (the default), add the 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, add the lines 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.

#### Rule Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - at [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/at -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/at -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.

#### Rule Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - passwd [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/passwd -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/passwd -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.

#### Rule Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - su [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/su -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/su -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.

#### Rule Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - userhelper [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/userhelper -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/userhelper -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.

Group Records Events that Modify Date and Time Information Group contains 5 rules
[ref] Arbitrary changes to the system time can be used to obfuscate nefarious activities in log files, as well as to confuse network services that are highly dependent upon an accurate system time. All changes to the system time should be audited.
#### Rule Record attempts to alter time through adjtimex [ref]
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 adjtimex -F key=audit_time_rules
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex -F key=audit_time_rules
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 adjtimex -F key=audit_time_rules
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex -F key=audit_time_rules
The -k option allows for the specification of a key in string form that can be used for better reporting capability through ausearch and aureport. Multiple system calls can be defined on the same line to save space if desired, but is not required. See an example of multiple combined syscalls:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex,settimeofday -F key=audit_time_rules

#### Rule Record Attempts to Alter Time Through stime [ref]
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` for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S stime -F key=audit_time_rules
Since the 64 bit version of the "stime" system call is not defined in the audit lookup table, the corresponding "-F arch=b64" form of this rule is not expected to be defined on 64 bit systems (the aforementioned "-F arch=b32" stime rule form itself is sufficient for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems). 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 for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S stime -F key=audit_time_rules
Since the 64 bit version of the "stime" system call is not defined in the audit lookup table, the corresponding "-F arch=b64" form of this rule is not expected to be defined on 64 bit systems (the aforementioned "-F arch=b32" stime rule form itself is sufficient for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems). The -k option allows for the specification of a key in string form that can be used for better reporting capability through ausearch and aureport. Multiple system calls can be defined on the same line to save space if desired, but is not required. See an example of multiple combined system calls:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex,settimeofday -F key=audit_time_rules
Rationale: | Arbitrary changes to the system time can be used to obfuscate nefarious activities in log files, as well as to confuse network services that are highly dependent upon an accurate system time (such as sshd). All changes to the system time should be audited.

#### Rule Record Events that Modify User/Group Information via open syscall - /etc/group [ref]
The audit system should collect write events to /etc/group 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 -F a1&03 -F path=/etc/group -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=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 -F a1&03 -F path=/etc/group -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=modify
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following line:
    -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F a1&03 -F path=/etc/group -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=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 open -F a1&03 -F path=/etc/group -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=modify
Rationale: | Creation of groups through direct edition of /etc/group could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.

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:

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:

#### Rule Make the auditd Configuration Immutable [ref]
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 the auditd configuration immutable:
    -e 2
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 the auditd configuration immutable:
    -e 2
With this setting, a reboot will be required to change any audit rules.
Rationale: | Making the audit configuration immutable prevents accidental as well as malicious modification of the audit rules, although it may be problematic if legitimate changes are needed during system operation.

#### Rule Record Attempts to Alter Process and Session Initiation Information [ref]
The audit system already collects process 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 such process information:
    -w /var/run/utmp -p wa -k session
    -w /var/log/btmp -p wa -k session
    -w /var/log/wtmp -p wa -k session
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 attempted manual edits of files involved in storing such process information:
    -w /var/run/utmp -p wa -k session
    -w /var/log/btmp -p wa -k session
    -w /var/log/wtmp -p wa -k session
Rationale: | Manual editing of these files may indicate nefarious activity, such as an attacker attempting to remove evidence of an intrusion.

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`:
    -w /etc/gshadow -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`:
    -w /etc/gshadow -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.

#### Rule Record Access Events to Audit Log Directory [ref]
The audit system should collect access events to read audit log directory. The following audit rule will assure that access to audit log directory are collected. Set ARCH to either b32 for 32-bit system, or have two lines for both b32 and b64 in case your system is 64-bit.
    -a always,exit -F arch=ARCH -F dir=/var/log/audit/ -F perm=r -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=access-audit-trail
If the `auditd` daemon is configured to use the `augenrules` program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the rule 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 rule to `/etc/audit/audit.rules` file.
Rationale: | Attempts to read the logs should be recorded, suspicious access to audit log files could be an indicator of malicious activity on a system. Auditing these events could serve as evidence of potential system compromise.'

#### Rule System Audit Logs Must Have Mode 0750 or Less Permissive [ref]
Verify the audit log directories have a mode of "0750" 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
By default, the audit log directory is `/var/log/audit`. Configure the audit log directory to be protected from unauthorized read access by setting the correct permissive mode. The appropriate directory permissions depend on the `log_group` setting in `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`: If `log_group` is set to `root` or is not set, the directory should have mode `0700`. This restricts access to root only, which is the most secure configuration. If `log_group` is set to a group other than `root`, the directory should have mode `0750`. This is necessary because when `log_group` is set to a non-root group, the audit log files are typically configured with mode `0640` (allowing group read access). For group members to access these files, they need execute permission on the directory to traverse it. The `0750` mode allows root full access and the specified group read and execute access, while preventing others from accessing the directory. If `log_group` is set to a group other than `root`, change the mode of the audit log directory with the following command:
    $ sudo chmod 0750 audit_log_directory
Otherwise, change the mode of the audit log directory with the following command:
    $ sudo chmod 0700 audit_log_directory
Replace `audit_log_directory` with the correct audit log directory path.
Rationale: | If users can write to audit logs, audit trails can be modified or destroyed.

#### Rule System Audit Logs Must Be Owned By Root [ref]
All audit logs must be owned by root user and group. By default, the path for audit log is
    /var/log/audit/
. To properly set the owner of `/var/log/audit`, run the command:
    $ sudo chown root /var/log/audit
To properly set the owner of `/var/log/audit/*`, run the command:
    $ sudo chown root /var/log/audit/*
Rationale: | Unauthorized disclosure of audit records can reveal system and configuration data to attackers, thus compromising its confidentiality.

Group 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.
#### Rule Configure auditd Disk Error Action on Disk Error [ref]
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.

#### Rule Configure auditd Disk Full Action when Disk Space Is Full [ref]
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.

#### Rule Configure auditd Max Log File Size [ref]
Determine the amount of audit data (in megabytes) which should be retained in each log file. Edit the file `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`. Add or modify the following line, substituting the correct value of 6 for STOREMB:
    max_log_file = STOREMB
Set the value to `6` (MB) or higher for general-purpose systems. Larger values, of course, support retention of even more audit data.
Rationale: | The total storage for audit log files must be large enough to retain log information over the period required. This is a function of the maximum log file size and the number of logs retained.

#### Rule Configure auditd max_log_file_action Upon Reaching Maximum Log Size [ref]
The default action to take when the logs reach their maximum size is to rotate the log files, discarding the oldest one. To configure the action taken by `auditd`, add or correct the line in `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`:
    max_log_file_action = ACTION
Possible values for ACTION are described in the `auditd.conf` man page. These include: `ignore` `syslog` `suspend` `rotate` `keep_logs` Set the `ACTION` to `rotate`. The setting is case-insensitive.
Rationale: | Automatically rotating logs (by setting this to `rotate`) minimizes the chances of the system unexpectedly running out of disk space by being overwhelmed with log data. However, for systems that must never discard log data, or which use external processes to transfer it and reclaim space, `keep_logs` can be employed.

#### Rule Configure auditd Number of Logs Retained [ref]
Determine how many log files `auditd` should retain when it rotates logs. Edit the file `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`. Add or modify the following line, substituting NUMLOGS with the correct value of 5:
    num_logs = NUMLOGS
Set the value to 5 for general-purpose systems. Note that values less than 2 result in no log rotation.
Rationale: | The total storage for audit log files must be large enough to retain log information over the period required. This is a function of the maximum log file size and the number of logs retained.

#### Rule Set number of records to cause an explicit flush to audit logs [ref]
To configure Audit daemon to issue an explicit flush to disk command after writing 50 records, set `freq` to `50` in `/etc/audit/auditd.conf`.
Rationale: | If option `freq` isn't set to `50`, the flush to disk may happen after higher number of records, increasing the danger of audit loss.

uses a multiple value option, for example
    A|B|C
, the first value will be used when remediating this rule.
Rationale: | If option `name_format` is left at its default value of `none`, audit events from different computers may be hard to distinguish.

#### Rule Ensure the audit Subsystem is Installed [ref]
The audit package should be installed.
Rationale: | The auditd service is an access monitoring and accounting daemon, watching system calls to audit any access, in comparison with potential local access control policy such as SELinux policy.

#### Rule 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.

#### Rule Extend Audit Backlog Limit for the Audit Daemon [ref]
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 all BLS (Boot Loader Specification) entries ('options' line) for the Linux operating system in `/boot/loader/entries/*.conf`.
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.

#### Rule Enable Auditing for Processes Which Start Prior to the Audit Daemon [ref]
To ensure all processes can be audited, even those which start prior to the audit daemon, add the argument `audit=1` to all BLS (Boot Loader Specification) entries ('options' line) for the Linux operating system in `/boot/loader/entries/*.conf`.
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.
