Vulnerability discussion

Audit data is frequently targeted by malicious users as it can provide a means to detect their activity. The protection of the audit trail data is of special concern and requires restrictions to allow only the auditor and DBMS backup, recovery, and maintenance users access to it.

Check content

From SQL*Plus: select owner from dba_tables where table_name = 'AUD$'; If the owner account returned is not SYS or SYSTEM, this is a Finding. If the AUD$ tables does not exist, this is a Finding.

Fix text

Change the owner of the $AUD table to SYS or SYSTEM account. OR Recreate the audit table while logged in as SYS or SYSTEM.

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.
