OL08-00-010019 - OL 8 must ensure cryptographic verification of vendor software packages.

Information

Cryptographic verification of vendor software packages ensures that all software packages are obtained from a valid source and protects against spoofing that could lead to installation of malware on the system. Oracle cryptographically signs all software packages, which includes updates, with a GPG key to verify that they are valid.

Solution

Install Oracle package-signing key on the system and verify its fingerprint matches vendor value.

Insert OL 8 installation disc or attach OL 8 installation image to the system. Mount the disc or image to make the contents accessible inside the system.

Assuming the mounted location is "/media/cdrom", use the following command to copy Oracle GPG key file onto the system:

 $ sudo cp /media/cdrom/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/

Import Oracle GPG keys from key file into system keyring:

 $ sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle

Using the steps listed in the Check Text, confirm the newly imported key shows as installed on the system and verify its fingerprint matches vendor value.
