Check: GEN005440
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN005440
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
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
The syslog server's /etc/syslog.conf file must have the client(s) listed along with the logging facility. The following example is a syslog.conf entry for the syslog client machine moe.larry.com: +example.com *.* /var/adm/log/example_com.log 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 hosts outside of the local enclave to not log to this system.
