Vulnerability discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check content

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the examples below. syslog { file LOG_FILE { change-log info; } } Note: The parameter "any" can be in place of "authorization info" as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host x.x.x.x { any info; } } If the router is not configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are modified, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the router to generate log records when account privileges are modified as shown in the example below. [edit system] set syslog file LOG_FILE change-log info Note: The parameter "any" can be in place of "change-log" as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. set syslog host x.x.x.x any info

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.
