The flexibility that GRUB provides creates a security risk if its configuration is modified by an unauthorized user. The failsafe menu entry needs to be secured in the same environments that require securing the systems firmware to avoid unauthorized removable media boots.
This check applies to X86 systems only. This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. # grep source /rpool/boot/grub/grub.cfg source custom.cfg If the output does not contain "source custom.cfg" on a line of its own, this is a finding. # grep superusers /rpool/boot/grub/custom.cfg. # grep password_pbkdf2 /rpool/boot/grub/custom.cfg If no superuser name and password are defined, this is a finding.
The root role is required. This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this action applies. Update GRUB to use a custom configuration file. # pfedit /rpool/boot/grub/grub.cfg Insert the line: source custom.cfg Create a password hash. # /usr/lib/grub2/bios/bin/grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 Enter password: Reenter password: Your PBKDF2 is ....... Copy the long password hash in its entirety. # pfedit /rpool/boot/grub/custom.cfg Insert the lines: set superusers="[username]" password_pbkdf2 [username] [password hash] Restart the system.
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.
