Vulnerability discussion

Information system logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without being able to establish what type of event occurred, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible. Log record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.Messaging servers must log all relevant log data that pertains to the messaging server. Examples of relevant data include, but are not limited to, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) activity, HTTPD/Web server activity, and messaging server-related system process activity.Satisfies: SRG-APP-000095-AS-000056, SRG-APP-000093-AS-000054, SRG-APP-000096-AS-000059, SRG-APP-000097-AS-000060, SRG-APP-000098-AS-000061, SRG-APP-000099-AS-000062, SRG-APP-000100-AS-000063, SRG-APP-000101-AS-000072

Check content

Apply the following check to each queue manager on the MQ Appliance. Establish an SSH command line session as an admin user. To access the MQ Appliance CLI, enter: mqcli To identify the queue managers, enter: dspmq To check config for each queue, enter: runmqsc [queue mgr name] At the runmqsc prompt, enter: DIS QMGR EVENT Verify the following events are enabled as required. AUTHOREV, INHIBITEV, STRSTPEV, CMDEV, SSLEV, CONFIGEV, PERFMEV If any of the required events are not enabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure each queue is configured to log the following event names: AUTHOREV INHIBITEV STRSTPEV CMDEV SSLEV CONFIGEV PERFMEV Use the "runmqsc" command for each queue manager. runmqsc [queue mgr name] ALTER QMGR [event name](ENABLED) Enter "end" to exit the MQ Appliance CLI.

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.
