Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • Specify module signing key to use

    Setting this option to something other than its default of <code>certs/signing_key.pem</code> will disable the autogeneration of signing keys and a...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Sign kernel modules with SHA-512

    This configures the kernel to build and sign modules using SHA512 as the hash function. The configuration that was used to build kernel is availab...

  • Enable poison without sanity check

    Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with poison on free. This reduces some of the overhead of the poisoning feature. This config...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Use zero for poisoning instead of debugging value

    Instead of using the existing poison value, fill the pages with zeros. This makes it harder to detect when errors are occurring due to sanitization...

  • httpd_run_ipa SELinux Boolean

    default - Default SELinux boolean setting.
    on - SELinux boolean is enabled.
    off - SELinux boolean is disabled.
    Value
  • Kernel panic oops

    Enable the kernel to panic when it oopses. This has the same effect as setting oops=panic on the kernel command line. The configuration that was u...

  • Kernel panic timeout

    Set the timeout value (in seconds) until a reboot occurs when the kernel panics. A timeout of 0 configures the system to wait forever. With a timeo...

  • Disable support for /proc/kkcore

    Provides a virtual ELF core file of the live kernel. The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at <code>/boot/config-*</code>. ...
    Rule Low Severity
  • Randomize the address of the kernel image (KASLR)

    In support of Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR), this randomizes the physical address at which the kernel image is decompressed and...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Randomize the kernel memory sections

    Randomizes the base virtual address of kernel memory sections (physical memory mapping, vmalloc &amp; vmemmap). This configuration is available fro...
