From CA API Gateway NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide

SV-86199r1_rule The CA API Gateway must employ automated mechanisms to detect the addition of unauthorized components or devices.

Vulnerability discussion

This requirement addresses configuration management of the network device. The network device must automatically detect the installation of unauthorized software or hardware onto the device itself. Monitoring may be accomplished on an ongoing basis or by periodic monitoring. Automated mechanisms can be implemented within the network device and/or in another separate information system or device. If the addition of unauthorized components or devices is not automatically detected, then such components or devices could be used for malicious purposes, such as transferring sensitive data to removable media for compromise.

Check content

Verify "/etc/modprobe.d/ssg-harden.conf" contents are: install dccp /bin/false install sctp /bin/false install rds /bin/false install tipc /bin/false install net-pf-31 /bin/false install bluetooth /bin/false install usb-storage /bin/false options ipv6 disable=1 If the "/etc/modprobe.d/ssg-harden.conf" contents do not contain the above, this is a finding.

Fix text

Set contents of "/etc/modprobe.d/ssg-harden.conf" file to: install dccp /bin/false install sctp /bin/false install rds /bin/false install tipc /bin/false install net-pf-31 /bin/false install bluetooth /bin/false install usb-storage /bin/false options ipv6 disable=1

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.
