Vulnerability discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis across multiple devices and log records.Time stamps generated by the web server include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep -E 'option\s+httplog' /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg If the command does not return a line, this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg Navigate to the defaults section. Add "option httplog" to the "defaults" section.

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.
