Vulnerability discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Protecting log data is important during a forensic investigation to ensure investigators can track and understand what may have occurred. Off-loading should be set up as a scheduled task but can be configured to be run manually, if other processes during the off-loading are manual. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited log storage capacity.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep traceFile /opt/vmware/etc/sfcb/sfcb.cfg If the value of "traceFile" is not "syslog', this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to and open /opt/vmware/etc/sfcb/sfcb.cfg, Configure the sfcb.cfg file with the following value: 'traceFile: syslog'

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.
