  • Ensure debug-shell service is not enabled during boot

    systemd's <code>debug-shell</code> service is intended to diagnose systemd related boot issues with various <code>systemctl</code> commands. Once e...

  • zIPL bootloader configuration

    During the boot process, the bootloader is responsible for starting the execution of the kernel and passing options to it. The default UnionTech OS...

  • Protect Random-Number Entropy Pool

    The I/O operations of the Linux kernel block layer due to their inherently unpredictable execution times have been traditionally considered as a re...

  • Ensure Solid State Drives Do Not Contribute To Random-Number Entropy Pool

    For each solid-state drive on the system, run:
     # echo 0 > /sys/block/DRIVE/queue/add_random

  • Kernel Configuration

    Contains rules that check the kernel configuration that was used to build it.
    Group
  • Hash function for kernel module signing

    The hash function to use when signing modules during kernel build process.
    Value
  • Key and certificate for kernel module signing

    The private key and certificate to use when signing modules during kernel build process. On systems where the OpenSSL ENGINE_pkcs11 is functional —...
    Value
  • Kernel panic timeout

    The time, in seconds, to wait until a reboot occurs. If the value is <code>0</code> the system never reboots. If the value is less than <code>0</co...
    Value
  • Do not allow ACPI methods to be inserted/replaced at run time

    This debug facility allows ACPI AML methods to be inserted and/or replaced without rebooting the system. This configuration is available from kerne...

  • Disable kernel support for MISC binaries

    Enabling <code>CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC</code> makes it possible to plug wrapper-driven binary formats into the kernel. This is specially useful for prog...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Enable support for BUG()

    Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring numerous fatal c...

  • net.ipv6.conf.all.max_addresses

    Maximum number of autoconfigured IPv6 addresses

    Accept all router solicitations?
    Value
  • Disable the 32-bit vDSO

    Certain buggy versions of glibc (2.3.3) will crash if they are presented with a 32-bit vDSO that is not mapped at the address indicated in its segm...
    Rule Low Severity
  • Enable checks on credential management

    Enable this to turn on some debug checking for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs t...
    Rule Low Severity
  • Disable kernel debugfs

    <code>debugfs</code> is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and wri...

  • Enable checks on linked list manipulation

    Enable this to turn on extended checks in the linked-list walking routines. The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at <code>...

  • Enable checks on notifier call chains

    Enable this to turn on sanity checking for notifier call chains. This is most useful for kernel developers to make sure that modules properly unreg...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
