Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile
-
Record Information on the Use of Privileged Commands
At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root.Group -
Ensure auditd Collects Information on the Use of Privileged Commands - sudo
At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root. If the <code>auditd</code> daemon is configured to use the <code>augenrules</code> program...Rule Medium Severity -
GRUB2 bootloader configuration
During the boot process, the boot loader is responsible for starting the execution of the kernel and passing options to it. The boot loader allows for the selection of different kernels - possibly ...Group -
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 Cache when the page table entry isn't present. Sele...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 generate a check log entry, if an error cannot be c...Rule Medium Severity -
Configure Microarchitectural Data Sampling mitigation
Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in various CPU internal buffers. When performing store, l...Rule Medium Severity -
Enable randomization of the page allocator
To enable randomization of the page allocator in the kernel, add the <code>page_alloc.shuffle=1</code> argument to the default GRUB 2 command line. To ensure that <code>page_alloc.shuffle=1</code> ...Rule Medium Severity -
Enable Kernel Page-Table Isolation (KPTI)
To enable Kernel page-table isolation, add the argument <code>pti=on</code> to the default GRUB 2 command line for the Linux operating system. To ensure that <code>pti=on</code> is added as a kerne...Rule Low Severity -
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 credited entropy. Use <code>rng_core.default_quality<...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 separate and reduces the risk of kernel heap overflo...Rule Medium 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.
