Information

RHEL 10 must check the GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) signature of software packages originating from external software repositories before installation.

GROUP ID: V-280932
RULE ID: SV-280932r1197215

Changes to any software components can have significant effects on the overall security of the operating system. This requirement ensures the software has not been tampered with and has been provided by a trusted vendor.

All software packages must be signed with a cryptographic key recognized and approved by the organization.

Verifying the authenticity of software prior to installation validates the integrity of the software package received from a vendor.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 dnf to always check the GPG signature of software packages originating from external software repositories before installation.

Add or update the following line in the [main] section of the "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" file:

gpgcheck=1
