SV-86195r1_rule The CA API Gateway must generate audit log events for a locally developed list of auditable events.

Vulnerability discussion

Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.

Check content

Examine "/etc/audit/audit.rules" to confirm any custom developed rules are contained within the file. If the "/etc/audit/audit.rules" does not contain the custom developed rules within the file, this is a finding.

Fix text

The Gateway relies on the standard Linux audit subsystem. The subsystem is configurable by modifying /etc/audit/audit.rules. Custom rules can be added to this file. See the Linux man-page for audit.rules(7) for detail about specifying custom rules.

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.
