SV-86149r1_rule The CA API Gateway must forward all log audit log messages to the central log server.

Vulnerability discussion

Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Regularly backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media than the system being audited helps to assure, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the audit records will be retained. This helps to ensure a compromise of the information system being audited does not also result in a compromise of the audit records.

Check content

Verify the CA API Gateway forwards all log audit log messages to the central log server. Within the "/etc/rsyslog.conf" file, confirm a rule in the format "*.* @@loghost.log.com" is in the ruleset section. If the CA API Gateway "/etc/rsyslog.conf" file does not have a rule in the format "*.* @@loghost.log.com" in the ruleset section, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the CA API Gateway to forward all audit log messages to the central log server. - Log in to CA API Gateway as root. - Open "/etc/rsyslog.conf" for editing. - Add a rule "*.* @@loghost.log.com" to the ruleset section of the "rsyslogd.conf" file.

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.
