Description

Without verifying the security functions, security functions may not operate correctly, and the failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing the system security policy and supporting the isolation of code and data on which the protection is based. Security functionality includes, but is not limited to, establishing system accounts, configuring access authorizations (i.e., permissions, privileges), setting events to be audited, and setting intrusion detection parameters. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000363-GPOS-00150, SRG-OS-000445-GPOS-00199

ℹ️ Check

Verify TOSS 5 has the AIDE package installed using the following command: $ sudo dnf list --installed aide Example output: aide.x86_64 0.16.100.el9 If AIDE is not installed, ask the system administrator (SA) how file integrity checks are performed on the system. If there is no application installed to perform integrity checks, this is a finding. If AIDE is installed, check if it has been initialized using the following command: $ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --check If the output is "Couldn't open file /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz for reading", this is a finding.

✔️ Fix

Install AIDE, initialize it, and perform a manual check. Install AIDE: $ sudo dnf install aide Initialize AIDE: $ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --init Example output: Start timestamp: 2023-06-05 10:09:04 -0600 (AIDE 0.16) AIDE initialized database at /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz Number of entries: 86833 --------------------------------------------------- The attributes of the (uncompressed) database(s): --------------------------------------------------- /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz MD5 : coZUtPHhoFoeD7+k54fUvQ== SHA1 : DVpOEMWJwo0uPgrKZAygIUgSxeM= SHA256 : EQiZH0XNEk001tcDmJa+5STFEjDb4MPE TGdBJ/uvZKc= SHA512 : 86KUqw++PZhoPK0SZvT3zuFq9yu9nnPP toei0nENVELJ1LPurjoMlRig6q69VR8l +44EwO9eYyy9nnbzQsfG1g== End timestamp: 2023-06-05 10:09:57 -0600 (run time: 0m 53s) The new database must be renamed to be read by AIDE: $ sudo mv /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz Perform a manual check: $ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --check Example output: 2023-06-05 10:16:08 -0600 (AIDE 0.16) AIDE found NO differences between database and filesystem. Looks okay!!
