Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000347-DNS-000041

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server must provide its identity with returned DNS information by enabling DNSSEC and TSIG/SIG(0).

    Weakly bound credentials can be modified without invalidating the credential; therefore, nonrepudiation can be violated. This requirement supports audit requirements that provide organizational pe...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000176-DNS-000017

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server must be configured to enforce authorized access to the corresponding private key.

    The cornerstone of the PKI is the private key used to encrypt or digitally sign information. If the private key is stolen, this will lead to the compromise of the authentication and nonrepudiation ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000176-DNS-000018

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server key file must be owned by the account under which the Windows DNS Server service is run.

    To enable zone transfer (requests and responses) through authenticated messages, it is necessary to generate a key for every pair of name servers. The key can also be used for securing other transa...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000176-DNS-000019

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server permissions must be set so the key file can only be read or modified by the account that runs the name server software.

    To enable zone transfer (requests and responses) through authenticated messages, it is necessary to generate a key for every pair of name servers. The key can also be used for securing other transa...

  • SRG-APP-000176-DNS-000094

    Group
  • The private key corresponding to the zone signing key (ZSK) must only be stored on the name server that does support dynamic updates.

    The private keys in the key signing key (KSK) and ZSK key pairs must be protected from unauthorized access. If possible, the private keys should be stored offline (with respect to the internet-faci...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000401-DNS-000051

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server must implement a local cache of revocation data for PKI authentication.

    Not configuring a local cache of revocation data could allow access to users who are no longer authorized (users with revoked certificates). SIG(0) is used for server-to-server authentication for ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000516-DNS-000077

    Group
  • The salt value for zones signed using NSEC3 resource records (RRs) must be changed every time the zone is completely re-signed.

    NSEC records list the resource record types for the name, as well as the name of the next resource record. With this information it is revealed that the resource record type for the name queried, o...

  • SRG-APP-000213-DNS-000024

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server must include data origin with authoritative data the system returns in response to external name/address resolution queries.

    The underlying feature in the major threat associated with DNS query/response (i.e., forged response or response failure) is the integrity of DNS data returned in the response. The security objecti...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000420-DNS-000053

    Group
  • The Windows DNS Server's IP address must be statically defined and configured locally on the server.

    The major threat associated with DNS forged responses or failures is the integrity of the DNS data returned in the response. The principle of DNSSEC is to mitigate this threat by providing data ori...

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.
