II - Mission Support Classified

Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00216

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must be configured to audit the loading and unloading of dynamic kernel modules.

    Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...
    Rule Medium Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000478-GPOS-00223

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography for the following: to provision digital signatures, to generate cryptographic hashes, and to protect unclassified information requiring confidentiality and cryptographic protection in accordance with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards.

    Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The operating system must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher stand...
    Rule High Severity

  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00225

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must prevent the use of dictionary words for passwords.

    If the operating system allows the user to select passwords based on dictionary words, then this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the opportunity for successful guesses an...
    Rule Medium Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00226

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must enforce a delay of at least four seconds between logon prompts following a failed logon attempt in login.defs.

    Limiting the number of logon attempts over a certain time interval reduces the chances that an unauthorized user may gain access to an account.
    Rule Medium Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must ensure audit events are flushed to disk at proper intervals.

    Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. To that en...
    Rule Medium Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00228

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must define default permissions for all authenticated users in such a way that the user can only read and modify their own files.

    Setting the most restrictive default permissions ensures that when new accounts are created they do not have unnecessary access.
    Rule Medium Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00229

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must configure Secure Shell (SSH) to disallow HostbasedAuthentication.

    SSH trust relationships enable trivial lateral spread after a host compromise and therefore must be explicitly disabled.
    Rule High Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000021-GPOS-00005

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must be configured to use the pam_faillock.so module.

    By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-force attacks, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking...
    Rule Medium Severity
    Show

  • SRG-OS-000021-GPOS-00005

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must prevent leaking information of the existence of a user account.

    By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-force attacks, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking...

    Group
    Show

  • The Photon operating system must audit logon attempts for unknown users.

    By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-force attacks, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking...

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.
