Steps To Implement Security Scan Requirements

Steps To Implement Security Scan Requirements

 

Who should perform security scan

If you are working on driver code, Vuls and Lynis are needed.

If you are developing container based application code, Vuls, Lynis and Kuber-Hunter are needed.

If you are developing VM based application code, Vuls (testing setup inside each VM) and Lynis (testing setup inside each VM) are needed.  

Vuls scan usually takes around 10 to 20 mins.

Kuber-Hunter usually takes about 10 mins. 

Lynis scan usually takes about 2 mins. 

Incubation Inclusion in Release Review:   Security Requirements Criteria

 

  • Releases typically occur every 6 months.

  • A release will use the last TSC approved security requirements that were approved at least 6 month prior to the release.

  • Exceptions must be submitted a minimum of 21 days prior to release

  • Note: Critical vulnerabilities/security items, as categorized by the Akraino Security Sub-Committee, must be fixed even if found inside lock out window.

Maturity Review:  Security Requirements Criteria

  • Exception granted in cases of non-applicability.

  • Exception granted in cases where another security mechanism specified in the blueprint and implemented mitigates the risk.

  • Exceptions requested for cases above must be approved by the security sub-committee.

  • Exceptions require a maximum of 21 days to review.

  • The formal email date received, requesting a maturity review would be the Maturity Request date and this would define the set of security requirements that apply.

  • Note: Critical vulnerabilities/security items, as categorized by the Akraino Security Sub-Committee, must be fixed even if found inside lock out window.

Vuls

Vuls will be integrated with Blueprint Validation Framework (Bluval User Guide)

Below are the list of tasks for integration. 

Installation

 

Install Vuls containers (https://vuls.io/docs/en/install-with-docker.html). Vuls containers can be found at: https://hub.docker.com/u/vuls/

  • Install go-cve-dictionary, run "docker pull vuls/go-cve-dictionary"

  • Install goval-dictionary, run "docker pull vuls/goval-dictionary"

  • Install gost, run "docker pull vuls/gost"

  • Install vuls, run "docker pull vuls/vuls"

 

Set up and run

Detailed instruction can be found at https://vuls.io/docs/en/tutorial-docker.html

  • Prepare log dir

$ cd /path/to/working/dir

$ mkdir go-cve-dictionary-log goval-dictionary-log gost-log

  • Fetch NVD

$ for i in `seq 2002 $(date +"%Y")`; do \ docker run --rm -it \ -v $PWD:/vuls \ -v $PWD/go-cve-dictionary-log:/var/log/vuls \ vuls/go-cve-dictionary fetchnvd -years $i; \ done

  • Fetch OVAL

    • if you are using redhat/fedora

$ docker run --rm -it \ -v $PWD:/vuls \ -v $PWD/goval-dictionary-log:/var/log/vuls \ vuls/goval-dictionary fetch-redhat 5 6 7 8

if you are using ubuntu/debian

docker run --rm -it \ -v $PWD:/vuls \ -v $PWD/goval-dictionary-log:/var/log/vuls \ vuls/goval-dictionary fetch-ubuntu 16 17 18 19

  • Fetch gost

$ docker run --rm -i \ -v $PWD:/vuls \ -v $PWD/goval-log:/var/log/gost \ vuls/gost fetch redhat

Or 

docker run --rm -i \ -v $PWD:/vuls \ -v $PWD/goval-log:/var/log/gost \ vuls/gost fetch ubuntu

  • Config the SUT, configuration will be stored in config.toml

    • SSH key generation & distribution: As Vuls connects to target server through SSH, and Vuls has to use SSH key-based authentication. There needs to be a way to generate SSH key pair, save the private key for Vuls container and dispatch the public key to target server. We probably don’t want to store the private key with the container image if the container image is public accessible.

[servers]

[servers.c74]

host = "54.249.93.16"

port = "22"

user = "vuls-user"

keyPath = "/root/.ssh/id_rsa" # path to ssh private key in docker

 

Vuls Incubation and Maturity: PASS/FAIL Criteria, v1.0

All Critical vulnerabilities detected by Vuls must be patched/fixed.  Critical vulnerabilities are defined as a CVSS score of 9.0-10.0.  After patches/fixes are applied, Vuls must be run again to verify that the vulnerability is no longer detected.

The vuls.log output file and exception requests for any vulnerabilities that cannot be fixed must be sent to the security sub-committee.

Lynis

Lynis requires to run on SUT (System Under Test). The overall test framework will the similar to that of Vuls. As to the Lynis installation, there are two options:

  1. Lynis is pre-installed on SUT by project team.

  2. Lynis is to be installed as part of test flow from Validation Framework. 

Considering the complexity of installing application on target system, it is recommended that option 1 is to be used. 

For more information about Lynis, please check the link below:

https://cisofy.com/documentation/lynis/get-started/

 

You can download Lynis from cisofy.com. It is just over 1,000 lines of shell code.

You can use this version to check the configuration of a single server, either local or remote, as well as the configuration of a single docker file.

Just do ./lynis audit system 

The output of the scan will be save in /var/log with the file name lynis-report.dat.

Then please upload these files in above folder and the report in txt or log format for the report. 

Install and Execute 

If you are using CentOS:

$  yum install lynis; lynis audit system

 

If you are using Ubuntu:

git clone https://github.com/CISOfy/lynis

$ cd lynis; ./lynis audit system

Report

After running, detailed test logs are stored in  /var/log/lynis.log, information for each test includes:

  • Time of an action/event

  • Reason(s) why a test failed or was skipped

  • Output of (internal) tests

  • Suggestions about configuration options or how to fix/improve things

  • Threat/impact score

In addition to log file, Lynis also creates a report and stores it in /var/log/lynis-report.dat. The report file contains the following information:

  • Remarks = #<remark>

  • Section = [<section name>]

  • Option/value = <option name>=<value of option>

Lynis Incubation:  PASS/FAIL Criteria, v1.0

  1. The Lynis Program Update test MUST pass with no errors.

  2. The following list of tests MUST complete as passing as described below.

    In the lynis.log outputfile each test suite has one or more individual tests.  The beginning and ending of a test suite is marked with "====".  For example, the 'ID BOOT-5122' test suite should display:

    020-04-08 15:36:28 ====
    2020-04-08 15:36:28 Performing test ID BOOT-5122 (Check for GRUB boot password)
    ...

    2020-04-08 15:36:29 Hardening: assigned maximum number of hardening points for this item (3).
    2020-04-08 15:36:29 ===

    If any tests in the test suit failed, there would be the following:

    2020-04-08 15:36:29 Suggestion: <Description of failed test>

    Also, the 'Hardening' line show above would not say 'assigned maximum number of hardening points', instead it would say 'assigned partial number of hardening points'.
