Canonical Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The Ubuntu operating system must provision temporary user accounts with an expiration time of 72 hours or less.
If temporary user accounts remain active when no longer needed or for an excessive period, these accounts may be used to gain unauthorized access. To mitigate this risk, automated termination of al...Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must enable the graphical user logon banner to display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting local access to the system via a graphical user logon.
Display of a standardized and approved use notification before granting access to the Ubuntu operating system ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable f...Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must retain a user's session lock until that user reestablishes access using established identification and authentication procedures.
A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to log out because of the temporary...Rule Medium Severity -
Ubuntu operating systems when booted must require authentication upon booting into single-user and maintenance modes.
To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information by entities that have been issued certificates by DoD-approved PKIs, all DoD systems (e.g., web servers and web portals) must be...Rule High Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must automatically terminate a user session after inactivity timeouts have expired.
Automatic session termination addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i....Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must implement smart card logins for multifactor authentication for local and network access to privileged and nonprivileged accounts.
Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentica...Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must immediately terminate all network connections associated with SSH traffic after a period of inactivity.
Automatic session termination addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i....Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must immediately terminate all network connections associated with SSH traffic at the end of the session or after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must configure the SSH daemon to use FIPS 140-2 approved ciphers to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of information and/or detect changes to information during transmission.
Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Remote access (e.g., RDP) is access to DOD nonpublic information systems by an aut...Rule Medium Severity -
The Ubuntu operating system must be configured so that remote X connections are disabled, unless to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.
The security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11 display server may be exposed to attack when the SSH client requests forwarding. A System Administrator may have a stance in which...Rule High Severity

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.
