Discussion

Under some circumstances, it may be useful to monitor who/what is reading privilege/permission/role information. Therefore, it must be possible to configure auditing to do this. Database management systems (DBMS) typically make such information available through views or functions. This requirement addresses explicit requests for privilege/permission/role membership information. It does not refer to the implicit retrieval of privileges/permissions/role memberships that PostgreSQL continually performs to determine if any and every action on the database is permitted. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000091-DB-000066, SRG-APP-000091-DB-000325, SRG-APP-000492-DB-000332, SRG-APP-000492-DB-000333, SRG-APP-000495-DB-000326, SRG-APP-000495-DB-000327, SRG-APP-000495-DB-000328, SRG-APP-000495-DB-000329, SRG-APP-000496-DB-000334, SRG-APP-000496-DB-000335, SRG-APP-000499-DB-000330, SRG-APP-000499-DB-000331, SRG-APP-000501-DB-000336, SRG-APP-000501-DB-000337, SRG-APP-000504-DB-000354, SRG-APP-000504-DB-000355, SRG-APP-000507-DB-000356, SRG-APP-000507-DB-000357

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following commands:

# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -A -t -c "SHOW pgaudit.log_catalog;"
# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -A -t -c "SHOW pgaudit.log;"
# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -A -t -c "SHOW pgaudit.log_parameter;"
# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -A -t -c "SHOW pgaudit.log_statement_once;"
# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -A -t -c "SHOW pgaudit.log_level;"

If "pgaudit.log_catalog" is not set to "on", this is a finding.

If "pgaudit.log" is not set to "all, -misc", this is a finding.

If "pgaudit.log_parameter" is not set to "on", this is a finding.

If "pgaudit.log_statement_once" is not set to "off", this is a finding.

If "pgaudit.log_level" is not set to "log", this is a finding.
