# CIS 1.5.4 Ensure prelink is disabled | |||||
# | |||||
# Description | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# prelink is a program that modifies ELF shared libraries and ELF dynamically | |||||
# linked binaries in such a way that the time needed for the dynamic linker to | |||||
# perform relocations at startup significantly decreases. | |||||
# | |||||
# Rationale | |||||
# ========= | |||||
# The prelinking feature can interfere with the operation of AIDE, because it | |||||
# changes binaries. Prelinking can also increase the vulnerability of the system | |||||
# if a malicious user is able to compromise a common library such as libc. | |||||
# | |||||
# Audit | |||||
# ===== | |||||
# Run the following command and verify prelink is not installed: | |||||
# | |||||
# # dpkg -s prelink | |||||
# | |||||
# Remediation | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# Run the following command to restore binaries to normal: | |||||
# | |||||
# # prelink -ua | |||||
# | |||||
# Run the following command to uninstall prelink : | |||||
# | |||||
# # apt-get remove prelink | |||||

# 2.3.1 Ensure NIS Client is not installed | |||||
# | |||||
# Description | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# The Network Information Service (NIS), formerly known as Yellow Pages, | |||||
# is a client-server directory service protocol used to distribute system | |||||
# configuration files. The NIS client ( ypbind ) was used to bind a machine | |||||
# to an NIS server and receive the distributed configuration files. | |||||
# | |||||
# Rationale | |||||
# ========= | |||||
# The NIS service is inherently an insecure system that has been vulnerable | |||||
# to DOS attacks, buffer overflows and has poor authentication for querying | |||||
# NIS maps. NIS generally has been replaced by such protocols as Lightweight | |||||
# Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). It is recommended that the service be | |||||
# removed. | |||||
# | |||||
# Audit | |||||
# ===== | |||||
# Run the following command and verify nis is not installed: | |||||
# | |||||
# dpkg -s nis | |||||
# | |||||
# Remediation | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# Run the following command to uninstall nis: | |||||
# | |||||
# apt-get remove nis | |||||
# | |||||
# Impact | |||||
# ====== | |||||
# Many insecure service clients are used as troubleshooting tools and in | |||||
# testing environments. Uninstalling them can inhibit capability to test | |||||
# and troubleshoot. If they are required it is advisable to remove the clients | |||||
# after use to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. | |||||

# 2.3.2 Ensure rsh client is not installed | |||||
# | |||||
# Description | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# The rsh package contains the client commands for the rsh services. | |||||
# | |||||
# Rationale | |||||
# ========= | |||||
# These legacy clients contain numerous security exposures and have been | |||||
# replaced with the more secure SSH package. Even if the server is removed, | |||||
# it is best to ensure the clients are also removed to prevent users from | |||||
# inadvertently attempting to use these commands and therefore exposing | |||||
# their credentials. Note that removing the rsh package removes the | |||||
# clients for rsh , rcp and rlogin . | |||||
# | |||||
# Audit | |||||
# ===== | |||||
# Run the following commands and verify rsh is not installed: | |||||
# | |||||
# dpkg -s rsh-client | |||||
# dpkg -s rsh-redone-client | |||||
# | |||||
# Remediation | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# Run the following command to uninstall rsh : | |||||
# | |||||
# apt-get remove rsh-client rsh-redone-client | |||||
# | |||||
# Impact | |||||
# ====== | |||||
# Many insecure service clients are used as troubleshooting tools and in | |||||
# testing environments. Uninstalling them can inhibit capability to test | |||||
# and troubleshoot. If they are required it is advisable to remove the | |||||
# clients after use to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. | |||||
# | |||||
# NOTE | |||||
# ==== | |||||
# It is not possible to remove rsh-client by means of SaltStack because | |||||
# of the way SaltStack checks that package was really removed. 'rsh-client' | |||||
# is "provided" by openssh-client package, and SaltStack thinks that | |||||
# it is the same as 'rsh-client is installed'. So each time we try to | |||||
# remove 'rsh-client' on a system where 'openssh-client' is installed | |||||
# (that's almost every system), we got state failure. | |||||
# This was fixed in upstream SaltStack in 2018, not sure where we start using | |||||
# this version. Until that moment 'rsh-client' should remain unmanaged. | |||||

# 2.3.3 Ensure talk client is not installed | |||||
# | |||||
# Description | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# The talk software makes it possible for users to send and receive messages | |||||
# across systems through a terminal session. The talk client, which allows | |||||
# initialization of talk sessions, is installed by default. | |||||
# | |||||
# Rationale | |||||
# ========= | |||||
# The software presents a security risk as it uses unencrypted protocols | |||||
# for communication. | |||||

# Run the following command and verify talk is not installed: | |||||
# | |||||
# dpkg -s talk | |||||

# 2.3.4 Ensure telnet client is not installed | |||||
# | |||||
# Description | |||||
# =========== | |||||
# The telnet package contains the telnet client, which allows users to start | |||||
# connections to other systems via the telnet protocol. | |||||
# | |||||
# Rationale | |||||
# ========= | |||||
# The telnet protocol is insecure and unencrypted. The use of an unencrypted | |||||
# transmission medium could allow an unauthorized user to steal credentials. | |||||
# The ssh package provides an encrypted session and stronger security and is | |||||
# included in most Linux distributions. | |||||
