Vulnerability discussion

In order to ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial device setup if it is modifiable. The amount allocated for the organization-defined audit record storage requirement will depend on the amount of storage available on the network device, the anticipated volume of logs, and how long the logs are kept on the device. Since the Syslog is the primary audit log, the local log is not essential to keep archived for lengthy periods, thus the allocated space on the device should be low.

Check content

To verify the file size for the local system log is set. [edit] show system syslog View the archive size setting of the local log files. If all local log files are not set to an organizational-defined size, this is a finding.

Fix text

Enter the following commands in the [edit system syslog] hierarchy. [edit system syslog] set file any any archive size file
