Keeping audit records on a remote system reduces the likelihood of audit records being changed or corrupted. Duplicating and protecting the audit trail on a separate system reduces the likelihood of an individual being able to deny performing an action. Solaris has supported rsyslog since version 11.1 and the differences between syslog and rsyslog are numerous. Solaris 11.4 installs rsyslog by default, but previous versions require a manual installation. When establishing a rsyslog server to forward to, it is important to consider the network requirements for this action. Note the following configuration options: There are three ways to forward message: the traditional UDP transport, which is extremely lossy but standard; the plain TCP based transport, which loses messages only during certain situations but is widely available; and the RELP transport, which does not lose messages but is currently available only as part of the rsyslogd 3.15.0 and above. Examples of each configuration: UDP *.* @remotesystemname TCP *.* @@remotesystemname RELP *.* :omrelp:remotesystemname:2514 Please note that a port number was given as there is no standard port for RELP.

TCP Wrappers are a host-based access control system that allows administrators to control who has access to various network services based on the IP address of the remote end of the connection. TCP Wrappers also provide logging information via syslog about both successful and unsuccessful connections.

Checks: C-17321r372631_chk

Check that TCP Wrappers are enabled and the host.deny and host.allow files exist. # inetadm -p | grep tcp_wrappers If the output of this command is "tcp_wrappers=FALSE", this is a finding. # ls /etc/hosts.deny /etc/hosts.deny # ls /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.allow If these files do not exist or do not contain the names of allowed or denied hosts, this is a finding.

Fix: F-17319r372632_fix

The root role is required. To enable TCP Wrappers, run the following commands: 1. Create and customize your policy in /etc/hosts.allow: # echo "ALL: [net]/[mask], [net]/[mask], ..." > /etc/hosts.allow where each [net>/[mask> combination (for example, the Class C address block "192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0") can represent one network block in use by your organization that requires access to this system. 2. Create a default deny policy in /etc/hosts.deny: # echo "ALL: ALL" >/etc/hosts.deny 3. Enable TCP Wrappers for all services started by inetd: # inetadm -M tcp_wrappers=TRUE The versions of SunSSH (0.5.11) and sendmail that ship with Solaris 11 will automatically use TCP Wrappers to filter access if a hosts.allow or hosts.deny file exists. The use of OpenSSH access is controlled by the sshd_config file starting with Solaris 11.3. SunSSH is removed starting with Solaris 11.4.

If temporary user accounts remain active when no longer needed or for an excessive period, these accounts may be used to gain unauthorized access. To mitigate this risk, automated termination of all temporary accounts must be set upon account creation. Temporary accounts are established as part of normal account activation procedures when there is a need for short-term accounts without the demand for immediacy in account activation. If temporary accounts are used, the operating system must be configured to automatically terminate these types of accounts after a DoD-defined time period of 72 hours. When temporary and emergency accounts are created, there is a risk the temporary account may remain in place and active after the need for the account no longer exists. To address this, in the event temporary accounts are required, accounts designated as temporary in nature must be automatically terminated after 72 hours. Such a process and capability greatly reduces the risk of accounts being misused, hijacked, or data compromised.

Passwords need to be changed at specific policy-based intervals; however, if the information system or application allows the user to immediately and continually change their password, then the password could be repeatedly changed in a short period of time, defeating the organization's policy regarding password reuse. Solaris 11.4 introduced new password security features that allow for a more granular approach to password duration parameters. The introduction of MAXDAYS, MINDAYS, and WARNDAYS allow the /etc/default/passwd configuration file to enforce a minimum password lifetime of a single day.

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. The shorter the password is, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.

Attackers that are able to exploit an inactive account can potentially obtain and maintain undetected access to an application. Owners of inactive accounts will not notice if unauthorized access to their user account has been obtained. Operating systems need to track periods of user inactivity and disable accounts after 35 days of inactivity. Such a process greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be hijacked, leading to a data compromise. This policy does not apply to either emergency accounts or infrequently used accounts. Infrequently used accounts are local logon accounts used by system administrators when network or normal logon/access is not available. Emergency accounts are administrator accounts created in response to crisis situations. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000003, SRG-OS-000118

A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. Rather than be forced to wait for a period of time to expire before the user session can be locked, the operating system needs to provide users with the ability to manually invoke a session lock so users may secure their account should the need arise for them to temporarily vacate the immediate physical vicinity.

This control enhancement is implemented within the remote device (e.g., notebook/laptop computer) via configuration settings not configurable by the user of the device. An example of a non-remote communications path from a remote device is a virtual private network. When a non-remote connection is established using a virtual private network, the configuration settings prevent split-tunneling. Split-tunneling might otherwise be used by remote users to communicate with the information system as an extension of the system and to communicate with local resources, such as a printer or file server. The remote device, when connected by a non-remote connection, becomes an extension of the information system allowing dual communications paths, such as split-tunneling, in effect allowing unauthorized external connections into the system. This is a split-tunneling requirement that can be controlled via the operating system by disabling interfaces.

The network routing daemon, in.routed, manages network routing tables. If enabled, it periodically supplies copies of the system's routing tables to any directly connected hosts and networks and picks up routes supplied to it from other networks and hosts. Routing Internet Protocol (RIP) is a legacy protocol with a number of security weaknesses, including a lack of authentication, zoning, pruning, etc.

TCP Wrappers is a host-based access control system that allows administrators to control who has access to various network services based on the IP address of the remote end of the connection. TCP Wrappers also provides logging information via syslog about both successful and unsuccessful connections. TCP Wrappers provides granular control over what services can be accessed over the network. Its logs show attempted access to services from non-authorized systems, which can help identify unauthorized access attempts.

Checks: C-17382r372814_chk

Determine if TCP Wrappers is configured. # inetadm -p | grep tcp_wrappers If the output of this command is "FALSE", this is a finding. The above command will check whether TCP Wrappers is enabled for all TCP-based services started by inetd. TCP Wrappers are enabled by default for sendmail and SunSSH (version 0.5.11). The use of OpenSSH access is controlled by the sshd_config file starting with Solaris 11.3. SunSSH is removed starting with Solaris 11.4. Individual inetd services may still be configured to use TCP Wrappers even if the global parameter (above) is set to "FALSE". To check the status of individual inetd services, use the command: # for svc in `inetadm | awk '/svc:\// { print $NF }'`; do val=`inetadm -l ${svc} | grep -c tcp_wrappers=TRUE` if [ ${val} -eq 1 ]; then echo "TCP Wrappers enabled for ${svc}" fi done If the required services are not configured to use TCP Wrappers, this is finding. # ls /etc/hosts.deny # ls /etc/hosts.allow If these files are not found, this is a finding.

A firewall that relies on a deny all, permit by exception strategy requires all traffic to have explicit permission before traversing an interface on the host. The firewall must incorporate stateful packet filtering and logging. Non-local maintenance and diagnostic communications often contain sensitive information and must be protected. The security of these remote accesses can be ensured by sending non-local maintenance and diagnostic communications through encrypted channels enforced via firewall configurations.

Encryption is only as good as the encryption modules utilized. Unapproved cryptographic module algorithms cannot be verified, and cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised due to weak algorithms. Applications utilizing encryption are required to use approved encryption modules meeting the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. FIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating cryptographic modules, and NSA Type-X (where X=1, 2, 3, 4) products are NSA-certified hardware based encryption modules.

Remote access is any access to an organizational information system by a user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network (e.g., the Internet). Examples of remote access methods include dial-up, broadband, and wireless. Using cryptography ensures confidentiality of the remote access connections. The system will attempt to use the first cipher presented by the client that matches the server list. Listing the values "strongest to weakest" is a method to ensure the use of the strongest cipher available to secure the SSH connection. Note: SSH in Solaris 11.GA-11.3 used Sun Microsystem’s proprietary SUNWssh. In Solaris 11.3 OpenSSH was offered as optional software and in Solaris 11.4 OpenSSH is the only SSH offered. Both use the same /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and both, by default do not include the ciphers line.

When data is written to portable digital media, such as thumb drives, floppy diskettes, compact disks, and magnetic tape, etc., there is risk of data loss. An organizational assessment of risk guides the selection of media and associated information contained on the media requiring restricted access. Organizations need to document in policy and procedures the media requiring restricted access, individuals authorized to access the media, and the specific measures taken to restrict access. Fewer protection measures are needed for media containing information determined by the organization to be in the public domain, to be publicly releasable, or to have limited or no adverse impact if accessed by other than authorized personnel. In these situations, it is assumed the physical access controls where the media resides provide adequate protection. The employment of cryptography is at the discretion of the information owner/steward. When the organization has determined the risk warrants it, data written to portable digital media must be encrypted.

A common type of exploit is the stack buffer overflow. An application receives, from an attacker, more data than it is prepared for and stores this information on its stack, writing beyond the space reserved for it. This can be designed to cause execution of the data written on the stack.

Kernel core dumps may contain the full contents of system memory at the time of the crash. Kernel core dumps may consume a considerable amount of disk space and may result in denial of service by exhausting the available space on the target file system. The kernel core dump process may increase the amount of time a system is unavailable due to a crash. Kernel core dumps can be useful for kernel debugging.

A file integrity baseline is a collection of file metadata used to evaluate the integrity of the system. A minimal baseline must contain metadata for all device files, setuid files, setgid files, system libraries, system binaries, and system configuration files. The minimal metadata must consist of the mode, owner, group owner, and modification times. For regular files, metadata must also include file size and a cryptographic hash of the file's contents.

Checks: C-17459r877439_chk

The root role is required. Solaris 11 includes the Basic Account and Reporting Tool (BART), which uses cryptographic-strength checksums and file system metadata to determine changes. By default, the manifest generator catalogs all attributes of all files in the root (/) file system. File systems mounted on the root file system are cataloged only if they are of the same type as the root file system. A Baseline BART manifest may exist in: /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[control manifest filename] If a BART manifest does not exist, this is a finding. At least weekly, create a new BART baseline report. # bart create > /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[new manifest filename] Compare the new report to the previous report to identify any changes in the system baseline. # bart compare /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[baseline manifest filename] /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[new manifest filename] Examine the BART report for changes.

Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media than the system being audited on an organizationally defined frequency helps to assure in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the audit records will be retained. This helps to ensure a compromise of the information system being audited does not also result in a compromise of the audit records. This requirement can be met by the operating system continuously sending records to a centralized logging server.

Checks: C-17471r373078_chk

This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you a currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global" this check applies. The operator must back up audit records at least every 7 days. If the operator is unable to provide a documented procedure or the documented procedure is not being followed, then this is a finding.

Editing a system file with common tools such as vi, emacs, or gedit does not allow the auditing of changes made by an operator. This reduces the capability of determining which operator made security-relevant changes to the system.

Checks: C-17472r373081_chk

Ask the operators if they use vi, emacs, or gedit to make changes to system files. If vi, emacs, or gedit are used to make changes to system files, this is a finding.

Fix: F-17470r373082_fix

Advise the operators to use pdfedit or other appropriate command line tools to make system changes instead of vi, emacs, or gedit. Oracle Solaris includes administrative configuration files which use pfedit, and the solaris.admin.edit/path_to_file authorization is not recommended. Alternate commands exist which are both domain-specific and safer. For example, for the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/user_attr files, use instead passwd, useradd, userdel, or usermod. For the /etc/group file, use instead groupadd, groupdel, or groupmod. For updating /etc/security/auth_attr, /etc/security/exec_attr, or /etc/security/prof_attr, the preferred command is profiles.

When data is written to digital media, such as hard drives, mobile computers, external/removable hard drives, personal digital assistants, flash/thumb drives, etc., there is risk of data loss and data compromise. An organizational assessment of risk guides the selection of media and associated information contained on the media requiring restricted access. Organizations need to document in policy and procedures the media requiring restricted access, individuals authorized to access the media, and the specific measures taken to restrict access. Fewer protection measures are needed for media containing information determined by the organization to be in the public domain, to be publicly releasable, or to have limited or no adverse impact if accessed by other than authorized personnel. In these situations, it is assumed the physical access controls where the media resides provide adequate protection. As part of a defense-in-depth strategy, the organization considers routinely encrypting information at rest on selected secondary storage devices. The employment of cryptography is at the discretion of the information owner/steward.

To assure the accuracy of the system clock, it must be synchronized with an authoritative time source within DoD. Many system functions, including time-based login and activity restrictions, automated reports, system logs, and audit records depend on an accurate system clock. If there is no confidence in the correctness of the system clock, time-based functions may not operate as intended and records may be of diminished value.

NTP must be used and used only in the global zone. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is not "global", then NTP must be disabled. Check the system for a running NTP daemon. # svcs -Ho state ntp If NTP is online, this is a finding. If the output from "zonename" is "global", then NTP must be enabled. Check the system for a running NTP daemon. # svcs -Ho state ntp If NTP is not online, this is a finding. If NTP is running, confirm the servers and peers or multicast client (as applicable) are local or an authoritative U.S. DoD source. For the NTP daemon # more /etc/inet/ntp.conf If a non-local/non-authoritative (non-U.S. DoD source, non-USNO-based, or non-GPS) time server is used, this is a finding. Determine if the time synchronization frequency is correct. # grep "maxpoll" /etc/inet/ntp.conf If the command returns "File not found" or any value for maxpoll, this is a finding. Determine if the running NTP server is configured properly. # ntpq -p | awk '($6 ~ /[0-9]+/ && $6 > 86400) { print $1" "$6 }' This will print out the name of any time server whose current polling time is greater than 24 hours (along with the actual value). If there is any output, this is a finding.

The root role is required. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is not "global", then NTP must be disabled. # svcadm disable ntp If the output from "zonename" is "global", then NTP must be enabled. To activate the ntpd daemon, the ntp.conf file must first be created. # cp /etc/inet/ntp.client /etc/inet/ntp.conf # pfedit /etc/inet/ntp.conf Make site-specific changes to this file as needed in the form. server [ntpserver] Locate the line containing maxpoll (if it exists). Delete the line. Start the ntpd daemon. # svcadm enable ntp Use a local authoritative time server synchronizing to an authorized DoD time source, a USNO-based time server, or a GPS. Ensure all systems in the facility feed from one or more local time servers that feed from the authoritative time server. Edit the NTP configuration files and make the necessary changes to add the approved time servers per Solaris documentation.

Security functional testing involves testing the operating system for conformance to the operating system security function specifications, as well as for the underlying security model. The need to verify security functionality applies to all security functions. The conformance criteria state the conditions necessary for the operating system to exhibit the desired security behavior or satisfy a security property. For example, successful login triggers an audit entry.

In order to minimize potential negative impact to the organization caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated prior to entering protected enclaves via operating system entry and exit points. The requirement states that AV and malware protection applications must be used at entry and exit points. For the operating system, this means an anti-virus application must be installed on machines that are the entry and exit points.

Checks: C-26361r462454_chk

The operator will ensure that anti-virus software is installed and operating. If the operator is unable to provide a documented configuration for an installed anti-virus software system or if not properly used, this is a finding.

As enabling X11 Forwarding on the host can permit a malicious user to secretly open another X11 connection to another remote client during the session and perform unobtrusive activities such as keystroke monitoring, if the X11 services are not required for the system's intended function, they should be disabled or restricted as appropriate to the user's needs. By default, sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the hostname part of the DISPLAY environment variable to “localhost”. This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.

Checks: C-36496r622215_chk

Determine if the X11 forwarding server is bound to the loopback address. # grep "^X11UseLocalhost" /etc/ssh/sshd_config If the output of this command is not: X11UseLocalhost yes this is a finding.
