1.343 RHEL-10-700710

Information

RHEL 10 must prevent a user from overriding the disabling of the graphical user interface autorun function.

GROUP ID: V-281274RULE ID: SV-281274r1197245

Techniques used to address this include protocols using nonces (e.g., numbers generated for a specific one-time use) or challenges (e.g., Transport Layer Security [TLS], WS_Security). Additional techniques include time-synchronous or challenge-response one-time authenticators.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000114-GPOS-00059, SRG-OS-000378-GPOS-00163

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that the GNOME desktop does not allow a user to change the setting that disables autorun on removable media.

Note: The example below is using the database "local" for the system. If the system is using another database in "/etc/dconf/profile/user", the file should be created under the appropriate subdirectory.

Update the "/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock" file to prevent user modification:

$ sudo vi /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock

/org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/autorun-never

Update the dconf system databases:

$ sudo dconf update
