Vulnerability discussion

Providing users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred facilitates user recognition and reporting of unauthorized account use.

Check content

Check that pam_lastlog is used and not silent, or that the SSH daemon is configured to display last login information. # grep pam_lastlog /etc/pam.d/sshd If pam_lastlog is present, and does not have the "silent" option, this is not a finding. # grep -i PrintLastLog /etc/ssh/sshd_config If PrintLastLog is not present in the configuration, this is not a finding. This is the default setting. If PrintLastLog is present in the configuration and set to "yes" (case insensitive), this is not a finding. Otherwise, this is a finding.

Fix text

Implement pam_lastlog, or enable PrintLastLog in the SSH daemon. To enable pam_lastlog, add a line such as "session required pam_lastlog.so" to /etc/pam.d/sshd. To enable PrintLastLog in the SSH daemon, remove any lines disabling this option from /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

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.
