This can be checked in the /etc/default/sulogin file (on Solaris 5.X systems) to check if the system runs sulogin, or an equivalent, when booting into single-user mode.
Fix: F-31076r1_fix
Edit /etc/default/sulogin and set PASSREQ=YES or remove /etc/default/sulogin entirely. NOTE: This is a default on Solaris 5.5.1 and later.

Use the last command to check for multiple accesses to an account from different workstations/IP addresses. If users log directly onto accounts, rather than using the su command from their own named account to access them, this is a finding (such as logging directly on to Oracle). Also, ask the SA or the IAO if shared accounts are logged into directly or if users log on to an individual account and switch user to the shared account.
Fix: F-24339r1_fix
Use the switch user (su) command from a named account login to access shared accounts. Maintain audit trails that identify the actual user of the account name. Document requirements and procedures for users/administrators to log into their own accounts first and then switch user (su) to the shared account.

Execute the following to determine which user owns the process(es) associated with the application. If the owner is root, this is a finding. # ps -ef | more
Fix: F-923r2_fix
Configure the system so the owner of a session requiring a continuous screen display, such as a network management display, is not root. Ensure the display is also located in a secure, controlled access area. Document and justify this requirement. Ensure the terminal and keyboard for the display (or workstation) are secure from all but authorized personnel by maintaining them in a secure area, in a locked cabinet where a swipe card, or other positive forms of identification, must be used to gain entry.

Fix: F-928r2_fix
The root home directory should be something other than / (such as /rootdir). Procedure: # mkdir /rootdir # chown root /rootdir # chgrp root /rootdir # chmod 700 /rootdir # cp -r /.??* /rootdir Edit the passwd file and change the root home directory to /rootdir. The cp -r /.??* command copies all files and subdirectories of file names beginning with "." into the new root directory, which preserves the previous root environment. The cp command must be executed from the / directory.

Fix: F-939r2_fix
All directories and files (executable and data) will have an identifiable owner and group name. Either trace files to an authorized user, change the file's owner to root, or delete them. Determine the legitimate owner of the files and use the chown command to set the owner and group to the correct value. If the legitimate owner cannot be determined, change the owner to root (but make sure none of the changed files remain executable because they could be Trojan horses or other malicious code). Examine the files to determine their origin and the reason for their lack of an owner/group.

Files with the setuid bit set will allow anyone running these files to be temporarily assigned the user or group ID of the file. If an executable with setuid allows shell escapes, the user can operate on the system with the effective permission rights of the user or group owner. List all setuid files on the system. Procedure: # find / -perm -4000 -exec ls -l {} \; | more NOTE: Executing these commands may result in large listings of files; the output may be redirected to a file for easier analysis. Ask the SA or IAO if files with the setuid bit set have been documented. If any undocumented file has its setuid bit set, this is a finding.

If the system is not using NIS+, this is not applicable. Check the system to determine if NIS+ security level 2 is implemented. Procedure: # niscat cred.org_dir If the second column does not contain DES, the system is not using NIS+ security level 2, and this is a finding.
Fix: F-1080r2_fix
Ensure the NIS+ server is operating at security level 2 by editing /usr/lib/nis/nisserver and ensuring the line containing SEC= is set to the numeral 2, for example: SEC=2 # 2=DES or 3=RSA Security Level 0 is designed for testing and initial setup of the NIS+ namespace. When running at level 0, the daemon does not enforce access control. Any client is allowed to perform any operation, including updates and deletions. Security level 1 accepts AUTH_SYS and AUTH_DES credentials for authenticating clients and authorizing them to perform NIS+ operations. This is not a secure mode of operation since AUTH_SYS credentials are easily forged. It should not be used on networks in which any untrusted user may potentially have access. Security level 2 accepts only AUTH_DES credentials for authentication and authorization. This is the highest level of security currently provided by the NIS+ service and the default security level if the -S option is not used.

If the log entry is not present, this is a finding. If the share command does not return anything, then this is not an NFS server and this is considered not applicable. NFS version 4 does not support server logging.

Ensure only authorized software is loaded on a designated NMS server. Authorized software is limited to the NMS software itself, a database management system for the NMS server if necessary, and network management software.

If the system is not a global zone, this vulnerability is not applicable. Determine if the system is configured to log martian packets. Examine the IPF rules on the system. Procedure: # ipfstat -i There must be rules logging inbound traffic containing invalid source addresses, which minimally include the system's own addresses and broadcast addresses for attached subnets. If such rules do not exist, this is a finding.
Fix: F-26893r1_fix
Configure the system to log martian packets using IPF. Add rules logging inbound traffic containing invalid source addresses, which minimally include the system's own addresses and broadcast addresses for attached subnets. For example, consider a system with a single network connection having IP address 192.168.1.10 with a local subnet broadcast address of 192.168.1.255. Packets with source addresses of 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.255 must be logged if received by the system from the network connection. Edit /etc/ipf/ipf.conf and add the following rules, substituting local addresses and interface names: block in log quick on ce0 from 192.168.1.10 to any block in log quick on ce0 from 192.168.1.255 to any Reload the IPF rules.

If using AIDE, verify the configuration contains the sha256 or sha512 options for all monitored files and directories. Here is an example AIDE configuration fragment. SampleRule = p+i+l+n+u+g+s+m+c+acl+xattrs+sha256 /bin SampleRule If either the sha256 or sha512 option is not present, this is a finding. If using a different file integrity tool, check the configuration per tool documentation.
Fix: F-24103r2_fix
If using AIDE, edit the configuration and add the sha256 or sha512 option for all monitored files and directories. If using a different file integrity tool, configure FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic hashes per the tool's documentation.

Restart the service. If the system uses Postfix, edit the main.cf file and add or edit the smtpd_client_restrictions line to have contents permit mynetworks, reject or a similarly restrictive rule. If the system does not need to receive mail from external hosts, add or edit the inet_interfaces line to have contents loopback-only or a set of loopback addresses for the system.
