JBoss ROOT logger must be configured to utilize the appropriate logging level.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Information system logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Log record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes: time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. See Chapter 14, Section 14.1.9, Table 14.4 of the Red Hat JBoss EAP Administration and Configuration Guide version 6.3 for specific details on log levels and log level values. The JBOSS application server ROOT logger captures all messages not captured by a log category and sends them to a log handler (FILE, CONSOLE, SYSLOG, ETC.). By default, the ROOT logger level is set to INFO, which is a value of 800. This will capture most events adequately. Any level numerically higher than INFO (> 800) records less data and may result in an insufficient amount of information being logged by the ROOT logger. This can result in failed forensic investigations. The ROOT logger level must be INFO level or lower to provide adequate log information.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
