1.54 RHEL-10-200635

Information

RHEL 10 must be configured so that the file integrity tool verifies extended attributes.

GROUP ID: V-280982RULE ID: SV-280982r1165301

RHEL 10 installation media ships with an optional file integrity tool called Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE). AIDE is highly configurable at install time. This requirement assumes the "aide.conf" file is under the "/etc" directory.

Extended attributes in file systems are used to contain arbitrary data and file metadata with security implications.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that the file integrity tool checks file and directory extended attributes.

If AIDE is installed, ensure the "xattrs" rule is present on all uncommented file and directory selection lists.
