Tri-Lab Operating System Stack (TOSS) 5 Security Technical Implementation Guide

Version

V1R1

CCIs

CCI-000764CCI-000804

Discussion

To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, interactive users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000104-GPOS-00051, SRG-OS-000121-GPOS-00062

Check Content

Verify TOSS 5 contains no duplicate UIDs for interactive users using the following command:

$ sudo awk -F ":" 'list[$3]++{print $1, $3}' /etc/passwd 

If output is produced and the accounts listed are interactive user accounts, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Edit the file "/etc/passwd" and provide each interactive user account that has a duplicate UID with a unique UID.
