Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) must verify the baseline SUSE operating system configuration at least weekly.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Unauthorized changes to the baseline configuration could make the system vulnerable to various attacks or allow unauthorized access to the SUSE operating system. Changes to SUSE operating system configurations can have unintended side effects, some of which may be relevant to security. Detecting such changes and providing an automated response can help avoid unintended, negative consequences that could ultimately affect the security state of the SUSE operating system. The SUSE operating system's Information System Security Manager (ISSM)/Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and System Administrator (SAs) must be notified via email and/or monitoring system trap when there is an unauthorized modification of a configuration item.
