(in versions v1 r6 through v1 r1)
Title
The Photon operating system must have the sshd LogLevel set to "INFO". (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Automated monitoring of remote access sessions allows organizations to detect cyberattacks and ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies by auditing connection activities. The INFO LogLevel is required, at least, to ensure the capturing of failed login events.
Check Content
At the command line, execute the following command: # sshd -T|&grep -i LogLevel Expected result: LogLevel INFO If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config with a text editor. Ensure that the "LogLevel" line is uncommented and set to the following: LogLevel INFO At the command line, execute the following command: # service sshd reload
