1.49 RHEL-10-200630

Information

RHEL 10 must have the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) package installed.

GROUP ID: V-280977
RULE ID: SV-280977r1195366

Without verification of the security functions, security functions may not operate correctly, and the failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing the system security policy and supporting the isolation of code and data on which the protection is based.

Security functionality includes, but is not limited to, establishing system accounts, configuring access authorizations (e.g., permissions, privileges), setting events to be audited, and setting intrusion detection parameters.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that "AIDE" is installed and initialized, and then perform a manual check.

Install AIDE:

$ sudo dnf -y install aide

Initialize AIDE:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --init

Example output:

Start timestamp: 2025-04-03 10:09:04 -0600 (AIDE 0.16)AIDE initialized database at /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz

Number of entries: 86833

The attributes of the (uncompressed) database(s):

/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gzMD5 : coZUtPHhoFoeD7+k54fUvQ==SHA1 : DVpOEMWJwo0uPgrKZAygIUgSxeM=SHA256 : EQiZH0XNEk001tcDmJa+5STFEjDb4MPETGdBJ/uvZKc=SHA512 : 86KUqw++PZhoPK0SZvT3zuFq9yu9nnPPtoei0nENVELJ1LPurjoMlRig6q69VR8l+44EwO9eYyy9nnbzQsfG1g==

End timestamp: 2025-04-03 10:09:57 -0600 (run time: 0m 53s)

The new database must be renamed to be read by AIDE:

$ sudo mv /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz

Perform a manual check:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/aide --check

Example output:

2025-04-03 10:16:08 -0600 (AIDE 0.16)AIDE found NO differences between database and filesystem. Looks okay!!
