SV-69039r1_rule The DNS server implementation must generate audit records containing information that establishes the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.

Vulnerability discussion

Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of users) associated with the events, security personnel cannot determine responsibility for the potentially harmful event.Event identifiers (if authenticated or otherwise known) include, but are not limited to, user database tables, primary key values, user names, or process identifiers.

Check content

Review the DNS system configuration to determine if audit records exist without specific user information, when user information is available. If audit records exist without specific user information when user information is available, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the DNS system audit settings to log specific user information whenever user information is available.

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.
