The parameters in this section are set to determine if the ''adjtimex'' (tune kernel clock), ''settimeofday'' (Set time, using timeval and timezone structures) stime (using seconds since 1/1/1970) or ''clock_settime'' (allows for the setting of several internal clocks and timers) system calls have been executed and always write an audit record to the ''/var/log/audit.log'' file upon exit, tagging the records with the identifier "time-change" =====Rationale===== Unexpected changes in system date and/or time could be a sign of malicious activity on the system. =====Audit===== On a 32 bit system run the following command and verify the output matches: <Code:bash> # grep time-change /etc/audit/audit.rules -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S adjtimex -S settimeofday -S stime -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S clock_settime -k time-change -w /etc/localtime -p wa -k time-change </Code> On a 64 bit system run the following command and verify the output matches: <Code:bash> # grep time-change /etc/audit/audit.rules -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex -S settimeofday -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S adjtimex -S settimeofday -S stime -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S clock_settime -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S clock_settime -k time-change -w /etc/localtime -p wa -k time-change </Code> =====Remediation===== For 32 bit systems add the following lines to the /etc/audit/audit.rules file: <Code:bash> -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S adjtimex -S settimeofday -S stime -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S clock_settime -k time-change -w /etc/localtime -p wa -k time-change </Code> For 64 bit systems add the following lines to the /etc/audit/audit.rules file: <Code:bash> -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex -S settimeofday -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S adjtimex -S settimeofday -S stime -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S clock_settime -k time-change -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S clock_settime -k time-change -w /etc/localtime -p wa -k time-change </Code> centos7/4/1/4.1493913415.txt.gz Last modified: 2017/05/04 17:56(external edit)
