Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Apparmor module must be configured to employ a deny-all, permit-by-exception policy to allow the execution of authorized software programs and limit the ability of non-privileged users to grant other users direct access to the contents of their home directories/folders.
Description
Discussion Text
The organization must identify authorized software programs and permit execution of authorized software. The process used to identify software programs that are authorized to execute on organizational information systems is commonly referred to as whitelisting.
Utilizing a whitelist provides a configuration management method for allowing the execution of only authorized software. Using only authorized software decreases risk by limiting the number of potential vulnerabilities. Verification of white-listed software occurs prior to execution or at system startup.
Users' home directories/folders may contain information of a sensitive nature. Non-privileged users should coordinate any sharing of information with an SA through shared resources.
