Check: GEN005440
AIX 6.1 SECURITY TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE:
GEN005440
(in versions v1 r14 through v1 r10)
Title
The system must not be used as a syslog server (loghost) for systems external to the enclave. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Syslog messages are typically unencrypted and may contain sensitive information and are, therefore, restricted to the enclave.
Check Content
NOTE: This will virtually always require a manual review. Ask the SA if the loghost server is collecting data for hosts outside the local enclave. If it is, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the hosts outside of the local enclave to not log to this system.
