UBTU-20-010415 - The Ubuntu operating system must deploy Endpoint Security for Linux Threat Prevention (ENSLTP) - installed
Information
Without the use of automated mechanisms to scan for security flaws on a continuous and/or periodic basis, the operating system or other system components may remain vulnerable to the exploits presented by undetected software flaws.To support this requirement, the operating system may have an integrated solution incorporating continuous scanning using HBSS and periodic scanning using other tools, as specified in the requirement.
Solution
The Ubuntu operating system is not compliant with this requirement; however, the severity level can be mitigated to a CAT III if the ENSLTP module is installed and running.Configure the Ubuntu operating system to use ENSLTP.
Install the 'mfetp' package:
# sudo apt-get install mfetp
