The end result is that SELinux is likely to cause problems for system administrators and end users and rather than resolve these issues, system administrators may just disable SELinux thereby defeating the built-in protections. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured so that the SSH daemon does not permit Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) authentication unless needed. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must audit all uses of the postqueue command. Overview of security hardening in RHEL, 1.3. The Release Notes provide high-level coverage of the improvements and additions that have been implemented in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 and document known problems in this release, as well as notable bug fixes, Technology Previews, Once someone opens a remote session to the server, the attackers machine acts as an invisible conduit, sitting quietly between the remote service and the unsuspecting user capturing information. Additional Resources on systemd Services, 1.6. To avoid cryptographic key material regeneration and reevaluation of the compliance of the resulting system associated with converting already deployed systems, Red Hat recommends starting the installation in FIPS mode. Enter the following command as root: Even though the firewall service, firewalld, is automatically enabled with the installation of RedHat EnterpriseLinux, there are scenarios where it might be explicitly disabled, for example in the kickstart configuration. Creates proactive focus on information security. Bucket notifications can be delivered to SSL-enabled AMQP endpoints. After Specifying the RHEL kernel to run", Expand section "3. For more information, see mgr/dashboard: fix base-href: revert it to previous approach (issue#50684, Avan Thakkar), mgr/dashboard: fix cookie injection issue (CVE-2021-3509: Dashboard XSS via token cookie, Ernesto Puerta), mgr/dashboard: fix set-ssl-certificate{,-key} commands (issue#50519, Alfonso Martnez), rgw: RGWSwiftWebsiteHandler::is_web_dir checks empty subdir_name (CVE-2021-3531: Swift API denial of service, Felix Huettner), rgw: sanitize r in s3 CORSConfigurations ExposeHeader (CVE-2021-3524: HTTP header injects via CORS in RGW, Sergey Bobrov, Casey Bodley), systemd: remove ProtectClock=true for ceph-osd@.service (issue#50347, Wong Hoi Sing Edison). Unfortunately, there is no predefined or industry approved methodology at this time; however, common sense and best practices can act as a sufficient guide. so that the nfs cluster ls and related commands will work The fapolicyd daemon uses the RPM database as a list of trusted binaries and scripts. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To build LUKS-enabled automated deployments, systems such as Lorax or virt-install together with a Kickstart file should be used to ensure master key uniqueness during the image building process. After the installation, the system starts in FIPS mode automatically. Access to this physical disk permits a full compromise of the ciphertext data.

Configuring applications to use cryptographic hardware through PKCS #11", Collapse section "6. But the nohz parameter is required to activate the nohz_full parameter that does have positive implications for real-time performance. The fips-mode-setup tool that enables or disables FIPS mode internally uses the FIPS system-wide cryptographic policy level. When signature verification is enabled, yum will refuse to install any packages not GPG-signed with the correct key for that repository. The value 0 indicates timestamps are being not generated. Note this is all for CentOS 6. semanage is found in the package policycoreutils-python which is not installed by default. To load the trusted key from the user-space blob, use the add subcommand with the blob as an argument: Create secure encrypted keys based on the TPM-sealed trusted key: Based on the syntax, generate an encrypted key using the already created trusted key: The command uses the TPM-sealed trusted key (kmk), produced in the previous step, as a primary key for generating encrypted keys. pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&my_mutex_attr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED); You can avoid priority inversion problems by using priority inheritance. The trace-cmd utility is a front end to the ftrace utility. To find the name or ID of a package group, for example a group related to the KDE desktop environment, type: Some groups are hidden by settings in the configured repositories. For a complete list, see the [repository] OPTIONS section of the yum.conf(5) manual page.

If your scenario does not require any interaction with smart cards and you want to prevent displaying authorization requests for the PC/SC daemon, you can remove the pcsc-lite package. If security personnel are not notified immediately when storage volume reaches 75 percent utilization, they are unable to plan for audit record storage capacity expansion. The latency measured is t1 - (t0 + i), which is the difference between the actual wakeup time t1, and the theoretical wakeup time of the first timestamp t0 plus the sleep interval i. This can ensure that high-priority processes keep running during an OOM state. When an NFS server is configured to use RPCSEC_SYS, a selected userid and groupid are used to handle requests from the remote user. To allow exposing privileged ports, see Exposing privileged ports. To see which installed packages on your system have updates available, use the following command: Example9.1. This document describes how to customize and use GNOME 3, which is the only desktop environment available in RHEL 8. Improving response times by disabling error detection and correction units, 11.3. Taking appropriate action in case of a filled audit storage volume will minimize the possibility of losing audit records. Industries that depend on computer systems and networks to conduct daily business transactions and access critical information regard their data as an important part of their overall assets. Only the following storage drivers are supported: overlay2 (only if running with kernel 5.11 or later, or Ubuntu-flavored kernel); fuse-overlayfs (only if running with kernel 4.18 or later, and fuse-overlayfs is installed); btrfs (only if running with kernel 4.18 or later, or ~/.local/share/docker is mounted with user_subvol_rm_allowed mount option) protocol port.

Example output of yum history info. Use the following procedure for manual removing the metadata created by the clevis luks bind command and also for wiping a key slot that contains passphrase added by Clevis. However, not all systems have HPET clocks, and some HPET clocks can be unreliable. packages by default, ceph-mgr-rook was always installed along with You can specify a CPU list using the -c parameter instead of a CPU mask. Resource. In earlier versions, This version of the Yocto Project Reference Manual is for the 2.4.2 release of the Yocto Project. upgraded their Ceph cluster from Nautilus (or earlier) to a later If a local interactive user files have excessive permissions, unintended users may be able to access or modify them. Each of them includes a different kind of information and serves a different purpose. If irqbalance is running, disable it, and stop it. You need to use the service command so that the auid value is properly recorded. When Clevis detects a smaller number of parts than specified in the threshold, it prints an error message. Deploying a Tang server with SELinux in enforcing mode, 13.4. Configuring VNC Server", Collapse section "13.1.2. HTTP-based services such as CGI are vulnerable to remote command execution and even interactive shell access. Increasing the sched_nr_migrate variable provides high performance from SCHED_OTHER threads that spawn many tasks at the expense of real-time latency. As root, type: Replace group with the groupid or quoted group name. to their own subvolumes. (similar to. When reviewing the trace file, only the last recorded latency is shown. SCAP Security Guide profiles supported in RHEL 8.6, RHEL 8.6.0 to RHEL 8.6.2:1.0.0 RHEL 8.6.3 and higher:2.0.0, RHEL 8.6.0:V1R5 RHEL 8.6.1 and RHEL 8.6.2:V1R6 RHEL 8.6.3 and higher:V1R7, Table9.5. This enables you to audit the system in an automated way for compliance with security standards. The first package in the list is dracut. The Roles tab is selected by default, showing a list of default User and Administrator roles, and any custom roles.. Click New.. Note that RHEL7 supports the LUKS2 format since version 7.6. Further exploitation can occur if the compromised workstation has administrative privileges on the rest of the network. Sometimes there are occasions when none of the above methods deal with a given situation and we need to extend the SELinux policy by creating a custom policy module to allow for a certain set of conditions. rados.blacklist_add is now rados.blocklist_add in the C++ API. Generating timestamps can cause TCP performance spikes. The example shows the following parameters: Write the name of the next clock source you want to test to the /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource file. Compare the results of step 4 for all of the available clock sources. This is a hotfix release that resolves two security flaws. Such features include allowing users to share their home directories under Samba or allowing Apache to serve files from users home directories that would otherwise be denied by the SELinux policy. Several optional arguments can be passed to this command, including hidden to list also groups not marked as user visible, and ids to list group IDs. s3website requests that dont refer to a bucket resulting in an RGW relying on NFS exports. To bind a process to a CPU, you usually need to know the CPU mask for a given CPU or range of CPUs. This helps to prevent Out-of-Memory (OOM) errors. To automatically unlock an existing LUKS-encrypted volume, install the clevis-luks subpackage: Identify the LUKS-encrypted volume for PBD. The CephFS MDS modifies on-RADOS metadata such that the new format is no You can use the OpenSCAP suite to deploy RHEL systems that are compliant with a security profile, such as OSPP, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA profile, immediately after the installation process.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured to off-load audit logs onto a different system or storage media from the system being audited. The rightmost column in the output lists the repository from which the package was retrieved. It allows you to maintain a consistent, high-speed environment in your data centers, while providing deterministic, low latency data transport for critical transactions. WARNING: Please do not set bluestore_fsck_quick_fix_on_mount to true or A cpu-hog thread with a SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR policy higher than the interrupt handler threads can prevent interrupt handlers from running. System (VFS) on top of RADOS. Journaling file systems like XFS, record the time a file was last accessed (the atime attribute). However, 65,536 entries are sufficient for most images. If you run multiple unrelated real-time applications, separating the CPUs by NUMA node or socket may be suitable. In a terminal on the Tang server, use the tang-show-keys command to display the key hash for comparison. Improving network latency using TCP_NODELAY", Expand section "39. future upgrades. If the owner of the "cron.allow" file is not set to root, the possibility exists for an unauthorized user to view or to edit sensitive information. Commonly, NFS fails to start if you specify a port number that is already in use. All of yums list commands allow you to filter the results by appending one or more glob expressions as arguments. Cleaning up a mutex attribute object, 40.2. $pid expansion in config paths like admin_socket will now properly expand Installing fuse-overlayfs is recommended. Configuring kdump on the command line", Collapse section "19. If you use smart cards, start troubleshooting by checking the rules in the system-provided policy file at /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.pcsc-lite.policy. Additionally, configuring the plug-in to run in enforcing mode prevents such packages from being installed at all. Switching the system-wide cryptographic policy to mode compatible with earlier releases, 4.3. If you decide to edit this file, exercise caution and always create a copy before making changes. sources. Both client- and server-side components use the Jos library to perform encryption and decryption operations. Setting up a Share That Uses Windows ACLs", Expand section "16.1.6.3. Files without a valid group owner may be unintentionally inherited if a group is assigned the same Group Identifier (GID) as the GID of the files without a valid group owner. Mail Transport Agents", Expand section "15.3.1.4. Intrusion detection systems warn you of malicious activity. Note that resolving symbols at startup can slow down program initialization. Do not run the graphical interface where it is not absolutely required, especially on servers. When performing an outside-looking-in vulnerability assessment, you are attempting to compromise your systems from the outside. SMIs are typically used for thermal management, remote console management (IPMI), EDAC checks, and various other housekeeping tasks. a remote Ceph cluster. Changing the order of console definitions. restarting the first mgr daemon. Consider setting either the IPCAccessControlFiles option (recommended) or the IPCAllowedUsers and IPCAllowedGroups options to limit access to the IPC interface. To relabel content that has a customizable type associated with it, run restorecon as above with the extra flag: Sometimes it is necessary to relabel the complete filesystem although this should only be necessary when enabling SELinux after it has been disabled or when changing the SELinux policy from the default targeted policy to strict. For example, yum group mark packages marks any given installed packages as members of a specified group. The output of ceph -s has been improved to show recovery progress in A process running under the wrong SELinux security context. As a consequence of performing RCU operations, call-backs are sometimes queued on CPUs to be performed at a future moment when removing memory is safe. You can prioritize the processes that get terminated by the oom_killer() function. In some industries, such as electronic commerce, the availability and trustworthiness of data can mean the difference between success and failure. quick-fix/repair commands are invoked. In systems that transfer large amounts of data where throughput is a priority, using the default value or increasing coalescence can increase throughput and lower the number of interrupts hitting CPUs. The underlying contents of the encrypted block device are arbitrary, which makes it useful for encrypting swap devices. up automatically. You can add your own PKCS #11 module into the system by creating a new text file in the /etc/pkcs11/modules/ directory. Checking if chrony is Synchronized", Collapse section "18.3.5. To display information about one or more packages, use the following command (glob expressions are valid here as well): Replace package_name with the name of the package. Verifying That Samba Was Correctly Joined As a Domain Member, 16.1.5.4. You can disable the oom_killer() function for a process by setting oom_adj to the reserved value of -17. You can also choose to download the package without installing it. Running and interpreting hardware and firmware latency tests", Collapse section "3. To restore just the index.html file, we would use: or to recursively restore the default security contexts for the whole directory: Additionally, if we simply wanted to examine the security contexts of the /var/www/html directory to see if any files needed their security contexts restored, we can use restorecon with the -n switch to prevent any relabelling occurring: In some cases it might also be the case that the user has moved files with a type that is listed in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/customizable_types. To improve response times, turn off EDAC. Quite often when encountering SELinux denials it will be the case that the operation that is denied is actually allowed in policy, but wasn't permitted due to a file not being labeled correctly or a process not transitioning to the correct domain. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured so that all local initialization files for local interactive users are be group-owned by the users primary group or root. The 32-byte long value of the kernel master key kmk is generated from random bytes from the /dev/urandom file and placed in the user (@u) keyring. You can reduce TCP performance spikes by disabling TCP timestamps. Do hard measurements and record them for later analysis. ): Wait for the cluster to deactivate any non-zero ranks by On CentOS 7 with systemd this can be achieved with the SELinuxContext= directive in the unit file, and in previous versions can be achieved using the runcon command. When these conditions are not satisfied, rootless mode ignores the cgroup-related docker run flags. Configuring Administrative Access Using the su Utility, 6.2. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured to use the shadow file to store only encrypted representations of passwords. Metadata Server. To enable yum plug-ins, ensure that a line beginning with plugins= is present in the [main] section of /etc/yum.conf, and that its value is 1: You can disable all plug-ins by changing this line to plugins=0. This causes programs waiting for data signaled by those interrupts to be starved and fail. In particular, make sure that kernel packages are always listed in installonlypkgs (as they are by default), and installonly_limit is always set to a value greater than 2 so that a backup kernel is always available in case the default one fails to boot. Manuals from the site are more up-to-date than manuals derived from the Yocto Project released TAR files. To define a rule that logs all write access to, and every attribute change of, the /etc/passwd file: To define a rule that logs all write access to, and every attribute change of, all the files in the /etc/selinux/ directory: To define a rule that creates a log entry every time the adjtimex or settimeofday system calls are used by a program, and the system uses the 64-bit architecture: To define a rule that creates a log entry every time a file is deleted or renamed by a system user whose ID is 1000 or larger: Note that the -F auid!=4294967295 option is used to exclude users whose login UID is not set. Alternatively, you can rotate Tang keys by using the nbde_server RHEL system role. For example: Administrators have no way to control users: A user could set world readable permissions on sensitive files such as ssh keys and the directory containing such keys, customarily: ~/.ssh/. This can result in unpredictable behavior, including blocked network traffic, blocked virtual memory paging, and data corruption due to blocked filesystem journaling. It is also tempting to make large changes when tuning, but it is almost always better to make incremental changes. Yum enables easy and simple package management on a single machine or on groups of them. Red Hat does not provide any automated method to revert changes made by security-hardening remediations. I assume that the user requiring NFS mount is alice. A part of this package, the pcscd (PC/SC Smart Card) daemon, ensures that the system can access a smart card using the PC/SC protocol. Association of an event with the identity of the user who triggered the event. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must audit all uses of the chsh command. This switches Audit to use rules defined in the /etc/audit/audit.rules file. The Clevis client should store the state produced by this provisioning operation in a convenient location. Peripheral devices, such as mice, keyboards, webcams send interrupts that may negatively affect latency. A workaround is to specify non-NFS data-root directory in ~/.config/docker/daemon.json as follows: docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: : read unix @->/run/systemd/private: read: connection reset by peer: unknown. In RedHat EnterpriseLinux, the access to this interface is limited to the root user only by default. That way, the data can only be unsealed if the PCR hashes values match the policy used when sealing. Example9.4. For deployments where RTSJ is not in use, there is a wide range of scheduling priorities below 90 that can be used by applications. Biometrics (includes fingerprint, voice, face, iris, handwriting, and other automated methods used to recognize individuals), Personnel recruitment and separation strategies. A sample /etc/yum.conf configuration file can look like this: The following are the most commonly used options in the [main] section: The assumeyes option determines whether or not yum prompts for confirmation of critical actions. If a world-writable directory is not group-owned by root, sys, bin, or an application Group Identifier (GID), unauthorized users may be able to modify files created by others. Scheduling a Job to Run at a Specific Time Using at", Collapse section "24.3. The command prints the current settings for system log levels. Understanding the chrony Configuration Commands, 18.3.5. Choose one of the following options that suits your scenario: In the case of encrypting a logical volume, you can extend the logical volume without resizing the file system. This is a journaling file system. Additional Resources", Collapse section "18.7. To reduce the number of interrupts, packets can be collected and a single interrupt generated for a collection of packets. The original motivation behind UNIX signals was to multiplex one thread of control (the process) between different "threads" of execution. hwlatdetect looks for hardware and firmware-induced latencies by polling the clock-source and looking for unexplained gaps. false false Insertion sort: Split the input into item 1 (which might not be the smallest) and all the rest of the list. This section explains how to add, enable, and disable a repository by using the yum-config-manager command. The default behavior is to store it in the /var/crash/ directory of the local file system. Check the vendor documentation for any tuning steps required for low latency operation. Set isolated_cores=cpulist to specify the CPUs that you want to isolate. However, most server administrators do not opt to install every single package in the distribution, preferring instead to install a base installation of packages, including several server applications. This is an expected behavior, as the daemon is namespaced inside RootlessKits The following steps are necessary to install AIDE and to initiate its database. Alternatively we can edit the custom policy module .te file to prevent auditing of this particular error whilst still allowing SELinux to continue preventing access. Manually Sharing Specific Printers, 16.1.7.4. If you installed Docker with https://get.docker.com/rootless (Install without packages), The kernel I/O system can reorder the journal changes to optimize the use of available storage space. The removal procedure using clevis luks unbind consists of only one step and works for both LUKS1 and LUKS2 volumes. Example output of yum groups summary. Technically speaking, this option will force NFS to change the client's root to an anonymous ID and, in effect, this will increase security by preventing ownership of the root account on one system migrating to the other system. The number is called threshold and SSS is also referred to as a thresholding scheme. When you specify a dump target in the /etc/kdump.conf file, then the path is relative to the specified dump target. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Note: We recommend that you use the Ubuntu kernel. You can extend polkit log entries related to the PC/SC protocol by adding new rules. If your workflow depends You can either start from the scratch, or use one of the example playbooks from the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.nbde_client/examples/ directory. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must not respond to Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echoes sent to a broadcast address. to first convert it to use cephadm so that the upgrade to Pacific scheduler, set the config option osd_op_queue to mclock_scheduler. The information prints in the system log and you can access them using the journalctl or dmesg utilities. The /etc/tuned/realtime-variables.conf configuration file includes the default variable content as isolated_cores=${f:calc_isolated_cores:2}. Chrony with HW timestamping", Expand section "18.7. SCAP content changes to reflect these updates, but it is not always backward compatible. The LUKS1 format does not support online re-encryption. It also allows application-level programs to be scheduled at a higher priority than kernel threads. The following sections detail some of the main issues. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must prevent binary files from being executed on file systems that are being imported via Network File System (NFS). See Section9.5.3, Using Yum Variables for descriptions of the $basearch and $releasever yum variables. View more information about the CPUs, such as the distance between nodes: The initial mechanism for isolating CPUs is specifying the boot parameter isolcpus=cpulist on the kernel boot command line. Converting SysV Init Scripts to Unit Files, 10.7. The security measures you should take to protect against such attacks depends both on the sensitivity of the information on the workstation and the location of the machine. Managing Services with systemd", Expand section "10.1. You can use specific email configuration different from the settings which affect all cron jobs. See https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55687.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems version 7.2 or newer booted with United Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) must have a unique name for the grub superusers account when booting into single-user mode and maintenance. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. snapshot creation. You can use the * wildcard at both the beginning and end of a word. You can allow automatic correction of the system configuration by selecting the Remediate check box. The scan did not find any conflicts with this rule. Controlling power management transitions, 10.2. The gateways are deployed via cephadm (or Rook, in the future). Terminal Menu Editing During Boot", Collapse section "26.10. Configuring automated enrollment of LUKS-encrypted volumes using Kickstart, 13.11. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must mount /dev/shm with secure options. Known to work on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04. For example, if a repository on http://www.example.com/repo/ requires a user name of "user" and a password of "password", then the baseurl link could be specified as http://user:password@www.example.com/repo/. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured so that the SSH daemon does not permit Kerberos authentication unless needed. The following steps demonstrate customizing the system-wide cryptographic policies by a complete policy file. The sudo command allows a user to execute programs with elevated (administrator) privileges. Checking if the NTP Daemon is Installed, 19.15. Install a RHEL 7 or RHEL Atomic system: For this Kubernetes sandbox system, install a RHEL 7 or RHEL Atomic system, subscribe the system, then install and start the docker service. Users who were running OpenStack Manila to export native CephFS and who upgraded their Ceph cluster from Nautilus (or earlier) to a later major version were vulnerable to an attack by malicious users. We can check the policy module loaded correctly by listing loaded modules with 'semodule -l'. Use systemctl --user to manage the lifecycle of the daemon: To launch the daemon on system startup, enable the systemd service and lingering: Starting Rootless Docker as a systemd-wide service (/etc/systemd/system/docker.service) In addition to the following table, in some RHEL 8 Z-stream releases (for example, 8.1.1), the Firefox browser packages have been updated, and they contain a separate copy of the NSS cryptography library. Common in many legacy operating systems, especially those that bundle services (such as UNIX and Windows.). The kdump configuration file, /etc/kdump.conf, contains options and commands for the kernel crash dump. It can be used to trace context switches, measure the time it takes for a high-priority task to wake up, the length of time interrupts are disabled, or list all the kernel functions executed during a given period. Alternatively, you can configure syslogd to log all locally generated system messages, by adding the following line to the /etc/rsyslog.conf file: The syslogd daemon does not include built-in rate limiting on its generated network traffic. If your scenario requires having encrypted root volumes in a cloud, perform the installation process (usually using Kickstart) for each instance of RedHat EnterpriseLinux in the cloud as well. that were storing state in RADOS omap, especially without striping which The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must prevent a user from overriding the screensaver lock-delay setting for the graphical user interface.
