modification of the information at rest. 
 
Selection of a cryptographic mechanism is based on the need to protect the integrity of organizational information. The strength of the mechanism is commensurate with the security category and/or classification of the information. Organizations have the flexibility to either encrypt all information on storage devices (i.e., full disk encryption) or encrypt specific data structures (e.g., files, records, or fields).&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Oracle Linux 9</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Oracle Linux 9</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5680</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-004910</ident><fixtext fixref="F-75388r1092615_fix">Configure the OL 9 operating system to implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized modification of all information at rest.

To encrypt an entire partition, dedicate a partition for encryption in the partition layout. 
 
Note: Encrypting a partition in an already-installed system is more difficult because it will need to be resized and existing partitions changed.</fixtext><fix id="F-75388r1092615_fix" /><check system="C-75481r1091003_chk"><check-content-ref href="Oracle_Linux_9_STIG.xml" name="M" /><check-content>Note: If there is a documented and approved reason for not having data at rest encryption, this requirement is Not Applicable.

Verify that OL 9 prevents unauthorized disclosure or modification of all information requiring at rest protection by using disk encryption.

Determine the partition layout for the system with the following command: 
 
$ sudo fdisk -l 
(..) 
Disk /dev/vda: 15 GiB, 16106127360 bytes, 31457280 sectors 
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes 
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes 
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Verify that the system partitions are all encrypted with the following command: 
 
$ sudo more /etc/crypttab 
 
Every persistent disk partition present must have an entry in the file. 
 
If any partitions other than the boot partition or pseudo file systems (such as /proc or /sys) are not listed, this is a finding.</check-content></check></Rule></Group><Group id="V-271432"><title>SRG-OS-000341-GPOS-00132</title><description>&lt;GroupDescription&gt;&lt;/GroupDescription&gt;</description><Rule id="SV-271432r1091008_rule" weight="10.0" severity="low"><version>OL09-00-000002</version><title>OL 9 must use a separate file system for the system audit data path.</title><description>&lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Placing "/var/log/audit" in its own partition enables better separation between audit files and other system files and helps ensure that auditing cannot be halted due to the partition running out of space.&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Oracle Linux 9</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Oracle Linux 9</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5680</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-001849</ident><fixtext fixref="F-75389r1091007_fix">Migrate the system audit data path onto a separate file system.</fixtext><fix id="F-75389r1091007_fix" /><check system="C-75482r1091006_chk"><check-content-ref href="Oracle_Linux_9_STIG.xml" name="M" /><check-content>Verify that OL 9 uses a separate file system for the system audit data path with the following command:

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 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.

Note: If additional subpolicies are being employed, they must be added to the REQUIRE.pmod as well. REQUIRE.pmod is included in the systemwide crypto-policy when it is set.

If the system wide crypto policy is not set to "FIPS", this is a finding.

Note: If subpolicies have been configured, they will be listed in a colon-separated list starting with FIPS as follows:

FIPS:&lt;SUBPOLICY-NAME&gt;:&lt;SUBPOLICY-NAME&gt;.

Verify the current minimum crypto-policy configuration with the following commands:
 
$ grep -E 'rsa_size|hash' /etc/crypto-policies/state/CURRENT.pol

If there are algorithms that include "SHA1" or a hash value less than "256" this is a finding.

Multifactor solutions that require devices separate from information systems gaining access include, for example, hardware tokens providing time-based or challenge-response authenticators and smart cards such as the U.S. Government Personal Identity Verification card and the DOD Common Access Card. 
 
A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user. 
 
Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. 
 
Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentication. 
 
Factors include:  
1) Something a user knows (e.g., password/PIN); 
2) Something a user has (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); and 
3) Something a user is (e.g., biometric). 
 
A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user. 
 
Network access is defined as access to an information system by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network (e.g., local area network, wide area network, or the internet). 
 
The DOD common access card (CAC) with DOD-approved PKI is an example of multifactor authentication.

Changes to operating system configurations can have unintended side effects, some of which may be relevant to security.

Detecting 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 SAs must be notified via email and/or monitoring system trap when there is an unauthorized modification of a configuration item.

Notifications provided by information systems include messages to local computer consoles, and/or hardware indications, such as lights.

To verify Oracle Linux Downloads, users need:
-A checksum file corresponding to the downloaded ISO.
-The public GPG key to verify the Oracle key used to sign the checksum file.

The checksum file contains a list of files that are part of a download package with the corresponding checksums as well as a GPG signature. The GPG signature enables anyone to verify that checksum file was published by Oracle. The steps below describe how to verify they checksum file itself and then verify the contents of the Oracle Linux download by checking against the checksum file.

Import the Oracle Linux GPG key corresponding to the Oracle Linux release:

$ curl https://yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol9 | gpg --import

Note: No "sudo" for curl command

Download the appropriate checksum file and place it in the same directory as the Oracle Linux ISO download:

$ curl https://linux.oracle.com/security/gpg/checksum/OracleLinux-R9-U3-Server-x86_64.checksum &gt; OracleLinux-R9-U3-Server-x86_64.checksum

Download GPG Key:

 $ curl https://yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol9 -o RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
Note: No "sudo" for curl command

To verify the checksum file:

$ gpg --verify-files OracleLinux-R9-U3-Server-x86_64.checksum
gpg: Signature made Wed 15 Nov 2023 07:22:32 AM EST

Primary key fingerprint: 3E6D 826D 3FBA B389 C2F3  8E34 BC4D 06A0 8D8B 756F

Verify the ISO download as follows:

$ grep OracleLinux-R9-U3-x86_64-boot.iso OracleLinux-R9-U3-Server-x86_64.checksum | sha256sum -c

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

When a user logs on, the auid is set to the uid of the account being authenticated. Daemons are not user sessions and have the loginuid set to -1. The auid representation is an unsigned 32-bit integer, which equals 4294967295. The audit system interprets -1, 4294967295, and "unset" in the same way.

The system call rules are loaded into a matching engine that intercepts each system call made by all programs on the system. Therefore, it is very important to use system call rules only when absolutely necessary since these affect performance. The more rules, the bigger the performance hit. The performance can be helped, however, by combining system calls into one rule whenever possible.

The system call rules are loaded into a matching engine that intercepts each system call made by all programs on the system. Therefore, it is very important to use system call rules only when absolutely necessary since these affect performance. The more rules, the bigger the performance hit. The performance can be helped, however, by combining system calls into one rule whenever possible.

When a user logs on, the auid is set to the uid of the account being authenticated. Daemons are not user sessions and have the loginuid set to -1. The auid representation is an unsigned 32-bit integer, which equals 4294967295. The audit system interprets -1, 4294967295, and "unset" in the same way.

The system call rules are loaded into a matching engine that intercepts each system call made by all programs on the system. Therefore, it is very important to use system call rules only when absolutely necessary since these affect performance. The more rules, the bigger the performance hit. The performance can be helped however, by combining system calls into one rule whenever possible.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

When a user logs on, the auid is set to the uid of the account that is being authenticated. Daemons are not user sessions and have the loginuid set to -1. The auid representation is an unsigned 32-bit integer, which equals 4294967295. The audit system interprets -1, 4294967295, and "unset" in the same way.

The system call rules are loaded into a matching engine that intercepts each system call made by all programs on the system. Therefore, it is very important to use system call rules only when absolutely necessary since these affect performance. The more rules, the bigger the performance hit. The performance can be helped, however, by combining system calls into one rule whenever possible.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

When a user logs on, the auid is set to the uid of the account being authenticated. Daemons are not user sessions and have the loginuid set to -1. The auid representation is an unsigned 32-bit integer, which equals 4294967295. The audit system interprets -1, 4294967295, and "unset" in the same way.

The system call rules are loaded into a matching engine that intercepts each system call made by all programs on the system. Therefore, it is very important to use system call rules only when absolutely necessary since these affect performance. The more rules, the bigger the performance hit. The performance can be helped, however, by combining system calls into one rule whenever possible.

Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, and audit reports) needed to successfully audit information system activity.

Audit tools include, but are not limited to, vendor-provided and open-source audit tools needed to successfully view and manipulate audit information system activity and records. Audit tools include custom queries and report generators.

It is not uncommon for attackers to replace the audit tools or inject code into the existing tools to provide the capability to hide or erase system activity from the audit logs.

To address this risk, audit tools must be cryptographically signed to provide the capability to identify when the audit tools have been modified, manipulated, or replaced. An example is a checksum hash of the file or files.

If auditing is enabled late in the startup process, the actions of some startup processes may not be audited. Some audit systems also maintain state information only available if auditing is enabled before a given process is created.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Allocating an audit_backlog_limit of sufficient size is critical in maintaining a stable boot process. With an insufficient limit allocated, the system is susceptible to boot failures and crashes.

A trust anchor is an authoritative entity represented via a public key and associated data. It is used in the context of public key infrastructures, X.509 digital certificates, and DNSSEC.

When there is a chain of trust, usually the top entity to be trusted becomes the trust anchor; it can be, for example, a certification authority (CA). A certification path starts with the subject certificate and proceeds through a number of intermediate certificates up to a trusted root certificate, typically issued by a trusted CA.

This requirement verifies that a certification path to an accepted trust anchor is used for certificate validation and that the path includes status information. Path validation is necessary for a relying party to make an informed trust decision when presented with any certificate not already explicitly trusted. Status information for certification paths includes certificate revocation lists or online certificate status protocol responses. Validation of the certificate status information is out of scope for this requirement.

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at 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. Use of more characters in a password helps to increase exponentially the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.

OL 9 uses "pwquality" as a mechanism to enforce password complexity. Configurations are set in the "etc/security/pwquality.conf" file.

The "minlen", sometimes noted as minimum length, acts as a "score" of complexity based on the credit components of the "pwquality" module. By setting the credit components to a negative value, not only will those components be required, but they will not count toward the total "score" of "minlen". This will enable "minlen" to require a 15-character minimum.

The DOD minimum password requirement is 15 characters.&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Oracle Linux 9</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Oracle Linux 9</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5680</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-004066</ident><fixtext fixref="F-75590r1091610_fix">Configure OL 9 to enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. Rather than be forced to wait for a period of time to expire before the user session can be locked, OL 9 needs to provide users with the ability to manually invoke a session lock so users can secure their session if it is necessary to temporarily vacate the immediate physical vicinity.

If auditing is enabled late in the startup process, the actions of some startup processes may not be audited. Some audit systems also maintain state information only available if auditing is enabled before a given process is created.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

The list of audited events is the set of events for which audits are to be generated. This set of events is typically a subset of the list of all events for which the system is capable of generating audit records.

DOD has defined the list of events for which OL 9 will provide an audit record generation capability as the following:

1. Successful and unsuccessful attempts to access, modify, or delete privileges, security objects, security levels, or categories of information (e.g., classification levels);

2. Access actions, such as successful and unsuccessful logon attempts, privileged activities or other system-level access, starting and ending time for user access to the system, concurrent logons from different workstations, successful and unsuccessful accesses to objects, all program initiations, and all direct access to the information system;

3. All account creations, modifications, disabling, and terminations; and

This requirement applies to both internal and external networks and all types of information system components from which information can be transmitted (e.g., servers, mobile devices, notebook computers, printers, copiers, scanners, and facsimile machines). Communication paths outside the physical protection of a controlled boundary are exposed to the possibility of interception and modification. 

Protecting the confidentiality and integrity of organizational information can be accomplished by physical means (e.g., employing physical distribution systems) or by logical means (e.g., employing cryptographic techniques). If physical means of protection are employed, then logical means (cryptography) do not have to be employed, and vice versa.

In addition, quickly terminating an idle SSH session will also free up resources committed by the managed network element.

Terminating network connections associated with communications sessions includes, for example, deallocating associated TCP/IP address/port pairs at the operating system level and deallocating networking assignments at the application level if multiple application sessions are using a single operating system-level network connection. This does not mean the operating system terminates all sessions or network access; it only ends the unresponsive session and releases the resources associated with that session.

OL 9 uses /etc/ssh/sshd_config for configurations of OpenSSH. Within the sshd_config, the product of the values of "ClientAliveInterval" and "ClientAliveCountMax" are used to establish the inactivity threshold. The "ClientAliveInterval" is a timeout interval in seconds, after which if no data has been received from the client, SSHD will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The "ClientAliveCountMax" is the number of client alive messages that may be sent without SSHD receiving any messages back from the client. If this threshold is met, sshd will disconnect the client. For more information on these settings and others, refer to the sshd_config man pages.

Security safeguards employed to protect memory include, for example, data execution prevention and address space layout randomization. Data execution prevention safeguards can be either hardware-enforced or software-enforced with hardware providing the greater strength of mechanism.

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.

SLAB objects are blocks of physically contiguous memory. SLUB is the unqueued SLAB allocator.

$ sudo find /dev -context *:device_t:* \( -type c -o -type b \) -printf "%p %Z\n"

$ sudo find /dev -context *:unlabeled_t:* \( -type c -o -type b \) -printf "%p %Z\n"

Note: There are device files, such as "/dev/dtrace/helper" or "/dev/vmci", that are used for system trace capabilities or when the operating system is a host virtual machine. They will not be owned by a user on the system and require the "device_t" label to operate. These device files are not a finding.

If there is output from either of these commands, other than already noted, this is a finding.</check-content></check></Rule></Group><Group id="V-271770"><title>SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227</title><description>&lt;GroupDescription&gt;&lt;/GroupDescription&gt;</description><Rule id="SV-271770r1092022_rule" weight="10.0" severity="medium"><version>OL09-00-002501</version><title>OL 9 must not have unauthorized accounts.</title><description>&lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Accounts providing no operational purpose provide additional opportunities for system compromise.

Temporary accounts are different from emergency accounts.

Emergency accounts are not subject to manual removal or scheduled expiration requirements.

The automatic expiration of temporary accounts may be extended as needed by the circumstances, but it must not be extended indefinitely. A documented permanent account should be established for privileged users who need long-term maintenance accounts.

Rsyslog provides 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.

Reliance on CAs for the establishment of secure sessions includes, for example, the use of SSL/TLS certificates.&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Oracle Linux 9</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Oracle Linux 9</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5680</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-002470</ident><fixtext fixref="F-75858r1092414_fix">Configure OL 9 to only allow the use of DOD PKI-established certificate authorities.

For each untrusted CA, export the certificate to a file and add it to the blocklist:

$ trust dump --filter "pkcs11:id=%7C%42%96%AE%DE%4B%48%3B%FA%92%F8%9E%8C%CF%6D%8B%A9%72%37%95;type=cert" &gt; /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blocklist/ISRGRootX2

$ update-ca-trust 

Verify that the certificate is in the blocklist:

$ trust list --filter=blocklist
