SV-35187r1_rule The system must not be used as a syslog server (loghost) for systems external to the enclave.

Vulnerability discussion

Syslog messages are typically unencrypted and may contain sensitive information and are, therefore, restricted to the enclave.

Check content

The syslog server's /etc/syslog.conf file must have the client(s) listed along with the logging facility. The following example is a syslog.conf entry for the syslog client machine moe.larry.com: +example.com *.* /var/adm/log/example_com.log NOTE: This will virtually always require a manual review. Ask the SA if the loghost server is collecting data for hosts outside the local enclave. If it is, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure hosts outside of the local enclave to not log to this 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.
