Vulnerability discussion

It is critical that, when a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs, it detects and takes action to mitigate the failure. As part of the mitigation, the system must send a notification to designated individuals that auditing is failing, log the notification message and the individuals who received the notification. When the system is not capable of notification and notification logging, an external software package, such as Oracle Diagnostic Framework, must be used.

Check content

Review the configuration of Oracle WebLogic to determine if a tool, such as Oracle Diagnostic Framework, is in place to monitor audit subsystem failure notification information that is sent out. If a tool is not in place to monitor audit subsystem failure notification information that is sent, this is a finding.

Fix text

Install a tool, such as Oracle Diagnostics Framework, to monitor audit subsystem failure notification information.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
