Kural_Basligi: The cryptographic hash of system files and commands must match vendor values.
Aciklama: Without cryptographic integrity protections, system command and files can be altered by unauthorized users without detection.\n\nCryptographic mechanisms used for protecting the integrity of information include, for example, signed hash functions using asymmetric cryptography enabling distribution of the public key to verify the hash information while maintaining the confidentiality of the key used to generate the hash.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the cryptographic hash of system files and commands match the vendor values.\n\nCheck the cryptographic hash of system files and commands with the following command:\n\nNote: System configuration files (indicated by a "c" in the second column) are expected to change over time. Unusual modifications should be investigated through the system audit log.\n\n# dpkg -V | grep "^..5"\n\nIf there is any output from the command for system binaries, this is a finding.
Cozum: Run the following command to determine which package owns the file:\n\n# dpkg -S <filename>\n\nThe package can be reinstalled from a apt repository using the command:\n\n# apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>\n\nAlternatively, the package can be reinstalled from trusted media using the command:\n\n# dpkg -V <packagename>

Kural_Basligi: The operating system must enable a user session lock until that user re-establishes access using established identification and authentication procedures.
Aciklama: A session lock 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 want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence.\n\nThe session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined.\n\nRegardless of where the session lock is determined and implemented, once invoked, the session lock must remain in place until the user reauthenticates. No other activity aside from reauthentication must unlock the system.\n\n
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the operating system enables a user\'s session lock until that user re-establishes access using established identification and authentication procedures. The screen program must be installed to lock sessions on the console.\n\nNote: If the system does not have GNOME installed, this requirement is Not Applicable.\n\nCheck to see if the screen lock is enabled with the following command:\n\n# gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled\ntrue\n\nIf the "lock-enabled" setting is missing or is not set to "true", this is a finding.
Cozum: [u'Configure the operating system to enable a user\'s session lock until that user re-establishes access using established identification and authentication procedures.\n\nCreate a database to contain the system-wide screensaver settings (if it does not already exist) with the following command:\n\n# touch /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-screensaver\n\nEdit \u201corg/gnome/desktop/session\u201d and add or update the following lines:\n\n# Set the lock time out to 900 seconds before the session is considered idle\nidle-delay=uint32 900\n\nEdit "org/gnome/desktop/screensaver" and add or update the following lines:\n\n# Set this to true to lock the screen when the screensaver activates\nlock-enabled=true\n# Set the lock timeout to 180 seconds after the screensaver has been activated\nlock-delay=uint32 180\n\nYou must include the "uint32" along with the integer key values as shown.\n\nOverride the user\'s setting and prevent the user from changing it by editing \u201c/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/screensaver\u201d and adding or updating the following lines:\n\n# Lock desktop screensaver settings\n/org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay\n/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-enabled\n/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-delay\n\nUpdate the system databases:\n\n# dconf update\n\nUsers must log out and back in again before the system-wide settings take effect.wbctodo

Kural_Basligi: The operating system must initiate a screensaver after a 15-minute period of inactivity for graphical user interfaces.
Aciklama: A session time-out lock 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 log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their operating 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.\n\nThe session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined and/or controlled.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the operating system initiates a screensaver after a 15-minute period of inactivity for graphical user interfaces. The screen program must be installed to lock sessions on the console.\n\nNote: If the system does not have GNOME installed, this requirement is Not Applicable.\n\nCheck to see if GNOME is configured to display a screensaver after a 15 minute delay with the following command:\n\n# grep -i idle-delay /etc/dconf/db/local.d/*\nidle-delay=uint32 900\n\nIf the "idle-delay" setting is missing or is not set to "900" or less, this is a finding.
Cozum: [u'Configure the operating system to initiate a screensaver after a 15-minute period of inactivity for graphical user interfaces.\n\nCreate a database to contain the system-wide screensaver settings (if it does not already exist) with the following command:\n\n# touch /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-screensaver\n\nEdit \u201corg/gnome/desktop/session\u201d and add or update the following lines:\n\n# Set the lock time out to 900 seconds before the session is considered idle\nidle-delay=uint32 900\n\nEdit "org/gnome/desktop/screensaver" and add or update the following lines:\n\n# Set this to true to lock the screen when the screensaver activates\nlock-enabled=true\n# Set the lock timeout to 180 seconds after the screensaver has been activated\nlock-delay=uint32 180\n\nYou must include the "uint32" along with the integer key values as shown.\n\nOverride the user\'s setting and prevent the user from changing it by editing \u201c/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/screensaver\u201d and adding or updating the following lines:\n\n# Lock desktop screensaver settings\n/org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay\n/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-enabled\n/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-delay\n\nUpdate the system databases:\n\n# dconf update\n\nUsers must log out and back in again before the system-wide settings take effect.wbctodo

Kural_Basligi: When passwords are changed or new passwords are established, the new password must contain at least one upper-case character.
Aciklama: Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.\n\nPassword complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised.
Aranacak_icerik: Note: The value to require a number of upper-case characters to be set is expressed as a negative number in "/etc/pam.d/common-password".\n\nCheck the value for "ucredit" in "/etc/pam.d/common-password" with the following command:\n\n# grep ucredit /etc/pam.d/common-password\npassword requisite pam_pwquality.so retry=3 ucredit=-1\n\nIf the value of "ucredit" is not set to a negative value, this is a finding.
Cozum: Configure the operating system to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one upper-case character be used by setting the "ucredit" option.\n\nAdd the following line to "/etc/pam.d/common-password" (or modify the line to have the required value):\n\npassword requisite pam_pwquality.so retry=3 ucredit=-1

Kural_Basligi: The rsh-server package must not be installed.
Aciklama: It is detrimental for operating systems to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. These unnecessary capabilities or services are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured. They increase the risk to the platform by providing additional attack vectors.\n\nOperating 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 (e.g., key missions, functions).\n\nThe rsh-server service provides an unencrypted remote access service that does not provide for the confidentiality and integrity of user passwords or the remote session and has very weak authentication.\n\nIf a privileged user were to log on using this service, the privileged user password could be compromised.

Kural_Basligi: A file integrity tool must verify the baseline operating system configuration at least weekly.
Aciklama: Unauthorized changes to the baseline configuration could make the system vulnerable to various attacks or allow unauthorized access to the operating system. Changes to operating system configurations can have unintended side effects, some of which may be relevant to security.\n\nDetecting such changes and providing an automated response can help avoid unintended, negative consequences that could ultimately affect the security state of the operating system. The operating system's Information Management Officer (IMO)/Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and System Administrators (SAs) must be notified via email and/or monitoring system trap when there is an unauthorized modification of a configuration item.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the operating system routinely checks the baseline configuration for unauthorized changes.\n\nNote: A file integrity tool other than Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) may be used, but the tool must be executed at least once per week.\n\nCheck to see if AIDE is installed on the system with the following command:\n\n# dpkg -l aide\n\nIf AIDE is not installed, ask the SA how file integrity checks are performed on the system.\n\nCheck for the presence of a cron job running daily or weekly on the system that executes AIDE daily to scan for changes to the system baseline. The command used in the example will use a daily occurrence.\n\nCheck the "/etc/cron.daily" subdirectory for a "crontab" file controlling the execution of the file integrity application. For example, if AIDE is installed on the system, use the following command:\n\n# ls -al /etc/cron.* | grep aide\n-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29 Nov 22 2015 aide\n\nIf the file integrity application does not exist, or a "crontab" file does not exist in the "/etc/cron.daily" or "/etc/cron.weekly" subdirectories, this is a finding.

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.\n\nThis requirement applies to operating systems performing security function verification/testing and/or systems and environments that require this functionality.

However, failure to keep operating system and application software patched is a common mistake made by IT professionals. New patches are released daily, and it is often difficult for even experienced System Administrators to keep abreast of all the new patches. When new weaknesses in an operating system exist, patches are usually made available by the vendor to resolve the problems. If the most recent security patches and updates are not installed, unauthorized users may take advantage of weaknesses in the unpatched software. The lack of prompt attention to patching could result in a system compromise.

Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and system operation may be adversely affected.\n\nAudit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.\n\nThis requirement applies to each audit data storage repository (i.e., distinct information system component where audit records are stored), the centralized audit storage capacity of organizations (i.e., all audit data storage repositories combined), or both.\n\n
Aranacak_icerik: Confirm the audit configuration regarding how auditing processing failures are handled.\n\nCheck to see what level "auditctl" is set to with following command: \n\n# auditctl -l | grep /-f\n -f 2\n\nIf the value of "-f" is set to "2", the system is configured to panic (shut down) in the event of an auditing failure.\n\nIf the value of "-f" is set to "1", the system is configured to only send information to the kernel log regarding the failure.\n\nIf the "-f" flag is not set, this is a CAT I finding.\n\nIf the "-f" flag is set to any value other than "1" or "2", this is a CAT II finding.\n\nIf the "-f" flag is set to "1" but the availability concern is not documented or there is no monitoring of the kernel log, this is a CAT III finding.
Cozum: Configure the operating system to shut down in the event of an audit processing failure.\n\nAdd or correct the option to shut down the operating system with the following command:\n\n# auditctl -f 2\n\nIf availability has been determined to be more important, and this decision is documented with the ISSO, configure the operating system to notify system administration staff and ISSO staff in the event of an audit processing failure with the following command:\n\n# auditctl -f 1\n\nKernel log monitoring must also be configured to properly alert designated staff.\n\nThe audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Kural_Basligi: The operating system must off-load audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited.
Aciklama: Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.\n\nOff-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.\n\n
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the operating system off-loads audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited.\n\nTo determine the remote server that the records are being sent to, use the following command:\n\n# grep -i remote_server /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf\nremote_server = 10.0.21.1\n\nIf a remote server is not configured, or the line is commented out, ask the System Administrator to indicate how the audit logs are off-loaded to a different system or media. \n\nIf there is no evidence that the audit logs are being off-loaded to another system or media, this is a finding.

Kural_Basligi: The operating system must limit the number of concurrent sessions to 10 for all accounts and/or account types.
Aciklama: Operating system management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an operating system. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in reducing the risks related to DoS attacks.\n\nThis requirement addresses concurrent sessions for information system accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by single users via multiple system accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions should be defined based on mission needs and the operational environment for each system.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the operating system limits the number of concurrent sessions to "10" for all accounts and/or account types by issuing the following command:\n\n# grep "maxlogins" /etc/security/limits.conf\n* hard maxlogins 10\n\nThis can be set as a global domain (with the * wildcard) but may be set differently for multiple domains.\n\nIf the "maxlogins" item is missing or the value is not set to "10" or less for all domains that have the "maxlogins" item assigned, this is a finding.

Kural_Basligi: All network connections associated with a communication session must be terminated at the end of the session or after 10 minutes of inactivity from the user at a command prompt, except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.
Aciklama: Terminating an idle 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 left unattended. In addition, quickly terminating an idle session will also free up resources committed by the managed network element. \n\nTerminating network connections associated with communications sessions includes, for example, de-allocating associated TCP/IP address/port pairs at the operating system level and de-allocating networking assignments at the application level if multiple application sessions are using a single operating system-level network connection. This does not mean that the operating system terminates all sessions or network access; it only ends the inactive session and releases the resources associated with that session.

Kural_Basligi: The SSH daemon must not permit Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) authentication unless needed.
Aciklama: GSSAPI authentication is used to provide additional authentication mechanisms to applications. Allowing GSSAPI authentication through SSH exposes the system\u2019s GSSAPI to remote hosts, increasing the attack surface of the system. GSSAPI authentication must be disabled unless needed.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the SSH daemon does not permit GSSAPI authentication unless approved.\n\nCheck that the SSH daemon does not permit GSSAPI authentication with the following command:\n\n# grep -i gssapiauth /etc/ssh/sshd_config\nGSSAPIAuthentication no\n\nIf the "GSSAPIAuthentication" keyword is missing, is set to "yes" and is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), or the returned line is commented out, this is a finding.
Cozum: Uncomment the "GSSAPIAuthentication" keyword in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" (this file may be named differently or be in a different location if using a version of SSH that is provided by a third-party vendor) and set the value to "no": \n\nGSSAPIAuthentication no\n\nThe SSH service must be restarted for changes to take effect.\n\nIf GSSAPI authentication is required, it must be documented, to include the location of the configuration file, with the ISSO.

Kural_Basligi: The SSH daemon must not permit Kerberos authentication unless needed.
Aciklama: Kerberos authentication for SSH is often implemented using Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI). If Kerberos is enabled through SSH, the SSH daemon provides a means of access to the system's Kerberos implementation. Vulnerabilities in the system's Kerberos implementation may then be subject to exploitation. To reduce the attack surface of the system, the Kerberos authentication mechanism within SSH must be disabled for systems not using this capability.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the SSH daemon does not permit Kerberos to authenticate passwords unless approved.\n\nCheck that the SSH daemon does not permit Kerberos to authenticate passwords with the following command:\n\n# grep -i kerberosauth /etc/ssh/sshd_config\nKerberosAuthentication no\n\nIf the "KerberosAuthentication" keyword is missing, or is set to "yes" and is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), or the returned line is commented out, this is a finding.
Cozum: Uncomment the "KerberosAuthentication" keyword in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" (this file may be named differently or be in a different location if using a version of SSH that is provided by a third-party vendor) and set the value to "no":\n\nKerberosAuthentication no\n\nThe SSH service must be restarted for changes to take effect.\n\nIf Kerberos authentication is required, it must be documented, to include the location of the configuration file, with the ISSO.

Kural_Basligi: The SSH daemon must perform strict mode checking of home directory configuration files.
Aciklama: If other users have access to modify user-specific SSH configuration files, they may be able to log on to the system as another user.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the SSH daemon performs strict mode checking of home directory configuration files.\n\nThe location of the "sshd_config" file may vary if a different daemon is in use.\n\nInspect the "sshd_config" file with the following command:\n\n# grep -i strictmodes /etc/ssh/sshd_config\n\nStrictModes yes\n\nIf "StrictModes" is set to "no", is missing, or the returned line is commented out, this is a finding.
Cozum: Uncomment the "StrictModes" keyword in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" (this file may be named differently or be in a different location if using a version of SSH that is provided by a third-party vendor) and set the value to "yes":\n\nStrictModes yes\n\nThe SSH service must be restarted for changes to take effect.

Kural_Basligi: The SSH daemon must use privilege separation.
Aciklama: SSH daemon privilege separation causes the SSH process to drop root privileges when not needed, which would decrease the impact of software vulnerabilities in the unprivileged section.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the SSH daemon performs privilege separation.\n\nCheck that the SSH daemon performs privilege separation with the following command:\n\n# grep -i usepriv /etc/ssh/sshd_config\n\nUsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox\n\nIf the "UsePrivilegeSeparation" keyword is set to "no", is missing, or the retuned line is commented out, this is a finding.
Cozum: Uncomment the "UsePrivilegeSeparation" keyword in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" (this file may be named differently or be in a different location if using a version of SSH that is provided by a third-party vendor) and set the value to "sandbox" or "yes":\n\nUsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox\n\nThe SSH service must be restarted for changes to take effect.

Kural_Basligi: The SSH daemon must not allow compression or must only allow compression after successful authentication.
Aciklama: If compression is allowed in an SSH connection prior to authentication, vulnerabilities in the compression software could result in compromise of the system from an unauthenticated connection, potentially with root privileges.
Aranacak_icerik: Verify the SSH daemon performs compression after a user successfully authenticates.\n\nCheck that the SSH daemon performs compression after a user successfully authenticates with the following command:\n\n# grep -i compression /etc/ssh/sshd_config\nCompression delayed\n\nIf the "Compression" keyword is set to "yes", is missing, or the retuned line is commented out, this is a finding.
Cozum: Uncomment the "Compression" keyword in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" (this file may be named differently or be in a different location if using a version of SSH that is provided by a third-party vendor) on the system and set the value to "delayed" or "no":\n\nCompression no\n\nThe SSH service must be restarted for changes to take effect.
