SUSE CVE-2022-49834

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of nswriter on remount If a nilfs2 filesystem is downgraded to read-only due to metadata corruption on disk and is remounted read/write, or if emergency read-only remount is performed, detaching a l...

SUSE CVE-2022-49898

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix tree mod log mishandling of reallocated nodes We have been seeing the following panic in production kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/tree-mod-log.c:677! invalid opcode: 0000 1 SMP RIP: 0010:treemodlogrewind+0x1b4/0x200 RSP:...

Configure the SSH Service Log Level Properly

SSH provides multiple log output levels, such as QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. A higher log level such as QUIET or FATAL prints less log information. This saves drive space but hinders administrators from auditing and tracing SSH events. Conversely, a lowe...

Configure Dumping journald Logs for rsyslog

The system uses journald to collect logs. Logs may be stored on volatile or persistent storage devices. As a result, logs may be lost or the drive space may be used up. In this case, logs need to be dumped in a timely manner to ensure the security of logs and the system. SPDX-FileCopyrightText:...

Log Spoofing Source Routing and Redirect Packets

Logging spoofing, source routing, and redirect packets sent to the system helps discover attack sources and formulate protection measures. SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2025 Greenbone AG Some text descriptions might be excerpted from a referenced sources, and are Copyright C by the respective right...

Configure Audit Rules for File System Mounting

Generally, for deployed services, the file system mounting does not change. Therefore, any change in the file system mounting may indicate attacks. For file systems with changes in mounting, audit and monitor their mounting conditions for tracing. By default, audit rules for file system mounting...

The vulnerability in the web-based interface of UserGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), the unified management center UserGate Management Center (UGMC), the log collection system UserGate Log Analyzer (LogAn), and the event tracking and analysis tool UserGate Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) allows a perpetrator to execute injection requests and trigger built-in database functions.

The vulnerability in the web-based interface of the UserGate Next-Generation Firewall NGFW, the unified management center UserGate Management Center UGMC, and the log collection system UserGate Log Analyzer LogAn is related to insufficient validation of input data. Exploiting this vulnerability...

Correctly Configure the Default File Permission For rsyslog

Log files record system behaviors. The rsyslog log tool records logs in specified files. When the specified log file does not exist in the system, rsyslog creates a log file. The permission of the created log file can be configured in the rsyslog configuration file. The configuration of the defau...

Discard Forged ICMP Packets and Do Not Record Logs

Setting icmpignoreboguserrorresponses to 1 prevents the kernel from recording responses to duplicate broadcast packets, which prevents useless log information from filling in the file system. Some attackers send ICMP packets that violate RFC-1122 and attempt to fill the log file system with a lar...

Configure Session Audit Rules

You are advised to audit and monitor the /var/run/utmp, /var/log/wtmp, and /var/log/btmp files. /var/run/utmp records all login events, /var/log/wtmp records all login, logout, shutdown, and restart events, and /var/log/btmp records login failure events. If session audit is not configured,...

Ensure That Rotation Is Enabled for Audit Logs

maxlogfileaction decides the action taken when the size of a log file reaches the upper limit. By default, ROTATE is configured in openEuler, indicating that a new log file is created when the size of a log file reaches the upper limit and the original log file is not deleted. numlogs specifies t...

Drive Data Should Be Managed in Partitions

When installing the OS, plan different partitions for OS data and service data based on the scenario. Do not store all data in the same drive or partition. Properly planning drive partitions avoids or reduces the following risks: 1. Log files are too large and use up the space of the service driv...

Ensure That the Log Size Limit Is Correct

The size of an audit log file must be limited. The log rotation mechanism can be used to create new log files once the file size limit is reached. If the upper limit is too high, the size of a single log file may be too large, which is inconvenient for management. If the upper limit is too low, t...

Record the cron Logs

Generally, cron is used to schedule tasks in Linux. Because cron can be exploited by hackers to load malicious code, all the cron logs need to be recorded to trace system exceptions. Otherwise, the exception information cannot be displayed in logs when there are malicious operations. As a result,...

Configure Audit Rules for Privilege Escalation Operations

In openEuler, logs of privilege escalation operations using the sudo command are recorded in the /var/log/secure file by default. This file also records other authentication-related security logs. If you want to audit privilege escalation operations using sudo, you are advised to record logs...

Correctly Configure the Log Records of Each Service

Logs should be configured so that important system behaviors and security-related information are recorded by rsyslog. The configuration files /etc/rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d/.conf specify the rules for logging and the files for recording specific types of logs. If logging is not configured,...

Configure the Core Dump Properly

A core dump records the memory status when a program stops abnormally or breaks down. It helps locate faults but may contain sensitive information in the process memory. In some cases, the core dump function needs to be enabled to record problem causes. When enabling the core dump function,...

Configure the Rotate Policy in rsyslog

rsyslog collects logs from the system and records them in files. logrotate copies and compresses log files periodically and quantitatively to ensure that log files do not occupy too many drive resources or even cannot be maintained. If the rotate policy is not configured for log files, they will...

Start the cron Daemon Properly

The cron daemon is used to execute batch processing jobs on the system. Even if the OS does not have user jobs that need to be run, some system jobs need to be run, including important jobs such as security monitoring. The cron daemon is used to execute these jobs. If the cron daemon is not start...
