Guide to the Secure Configuration of Anolis OS 8

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • Spec Store Bypass Mitigation

    This controls how the Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) vulnerability is mitigated.
    Value
  • Disable Recovery Booting

    Anolis OS 8 systems support an "recovery boot" option that can be used to prevent services from being started. The <code>GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY</cod...

  • Configure L1 Terminal Fault mitigations

    L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the Level 1 Data Ca...
    Rule High Severity
  • Force kernel panic on uncorrected MCEs

    A Machine Check Exception is an error generated by the CPU itdetects an error in itself, memory or I/O devices. These errors may be corrected and g...

  • Ensure SMEP is not disabled during boot

    The SMEP is used to prevent the supervisor mode from executing user space code, it is enabled by default since Linux kernel 3.0. But it could be di...

  • Configure the confidence in TPM for entropy

    The TPM security chip that is available in most modern systems has a hardware RNG. It is also used to feed the entropy pool, but generally not cred...
    Rule Low Severity
  • Disable merging of slabs with similar size

    The kernel may merge similar slabs together to reduce overhead and increase cache hotness of objects. Disabling merging of slabs keeps the slabs se...

  • Configure Speculative Store Bypass Mitigation

    Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against a common wide industry wide performance optimization known as Speculative Store Bypass (SSB). In...
