Packet filtering provides basic protection against network-based attacks. IP Filter also includes stateless packet filtering and can create and manage address pools. See the ipf(1M) and ipfilter(5) man pages. |
mesg(1) prevents talk(1) and write(1) access to remote terminals

The default user UMASK is 022
| Rule ID | OSC-94000 |
| Result | pass |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | UMASK in the /etc/default/login file indicates the permissions on user files at creation. This value should not allow group or world write. The default value is 022, which allows group and world to read files owned by a user. See the login(1) man page. |
root access is console-only
| Rule ID | OSC-59510 |
| Result | pass |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | The root account should not be able to log in remotely, and its actions should be monitored. See the login(1) man page. |
DISABLETIME is set for logins
| Rule ID | OSC-32500 |
| Result | pass |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | DISABLETIME in the /etc/default/login file is set to 20 by default. Any value greater than zero indicates the seconds before a login prompt appears after RETRIES failed login attempts. This delay can mitigate rapid-fire, brute force attacks on passwords. See the login(1) man page. |
SLEEPTIME following an invalid login attempt is set to 4
| Rule ID | OSC-33500 |
| Result | pass |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | SLEEPTIME in the /etc/default/login file is set to 4 by default. This number indicates the number of seconds that elapse before the "login incorrect" message appears after an incorrect password is typed. The maximum number is 5. This delay can mitigate rapid-fire, brute force attacks on passwords. See the login(1) man page. |
Name services are set to all local (files) only

| Description | The operating system uses a number of databases of information about hosts, ipnodes, users (passwd(4), shadow(4), and user_attr(4)), and groups. Data for these can come from a variety of sources: hostnames and host addresses, for example, can be found in /etc/hosts, NIS, LDAP, DNS, or Multicast DNS. Systems in restricted environments may be more secure if only local files entries are used for these entries. See the nsswitch.conf(4) man page for more information |
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is enabled
| Rule ID | OSC-01511 |
| Result | pass |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description |
Oracle Solaris tags many of its userland binaries
to enable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).
ASLR randomizes the starting address of key parts of an address space.
This security defense mechanism can cause
Return Oriented Programming (ROP) attacks to fail
when they try to exploit software vulnerabilities.
See the sxadm(1M) man page.

Booting the system should require a password

| Result | notselected |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | The GRUB menu, the BIOS, and the eeprom should be password-protected to prevent configuration by unauthorized users. The BIOS protections prevent booting from an external device, such as a USB flash drive. |

Stacks are non-executable
| Rule ID | OSC-75511 |
| Result | notselected |
| Time | 2018-10-13T21:35:31 |
| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | Programs read and write data on the stack. Typically, they execute from read-only portions of memory that are specifically designated for code. Some attacks that cause buffers on the stack to overflow try to insert new code on the stack and cause the program to execute it. Removing execute permission from the stack memory prevents these attacks from succeeding. Properly written programs function correctly without using executable stacks. |
Remote serial logins are disabled
| Rule ID | OSC-69010 |
| Result | notselected |

| Severity | medium |
| Identifiers and References | |
| Description | Serial logins can be a source of unauthorized access. Login services should not be enabled for serial ports that are not required to support the purpose of the system. |
