Information

Access to Oracle Database files must be limited to relevant processes and to authorized, administrative users.

GROUP ID: V-270578
RULE ID: SV-270578r1137658

Applications, including database management systems (DBMSs), must prevent unauthorized and unintended information transfer via shared system resources. Permitting only DBMS processes and authorized, administrative users to have access to the files where the database resides helps ensure that those files are not shared inappropriately and are not open to backdoor access and manipulation.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure the permissions of the database files, database log files, and database backup files so that only relevant system accounts and authorized system administrators and database administrators with a need to know are permitted to read/view these files.
