Knowledgebase version 5.25 includes new checks for Oracle and IBM DB2 LUW as well as updates for several Built-In Policies. Also included in this release are updates to User Creation Scripts for Oracle and IBM DB2.
New Vulnerability and Configuration Check Highlights
IBM DB2 LUW
- Ensure parameter encrlib is enabled for automatic encryption of backups
o Ensure that the ENCRLIB database configuration parameter is enabled for automatic encryption of the database. For the configuration parameter to be enabled, the value should resemble the path to the encryption library.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Ensure parameter keystore_type is set to PKCS12
o Review the KEYSTORE_TYPE database configuration parameter to ensure the type of keystore is used to store the encryption keys.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Review parameter encropts values for the automatic encryption of databases
o Review the ENCROPTS database configuration parameter to ensure the proper options are correctly configured.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Review parameter keystore_location for automatic encryption of databases
o Check that the KEYSTORE_LOCATION database configuration parameter is configured as the location of the encryption keys.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Review permissions on SYSPROC.ADMIN_GET_ENCRYPTION_INFO function
o Review the permissions for the function SYSPROC.ADMIN_GET_ENCRYPTION_INFO. Only users with SECADM authority should have permission to execute this function as it returns the current encryption settings of the database.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Review permissions on SYSPROC.ADMIN_ROTATE_MASTER_KEY procedure
o Review the permissions for the procedure SYSPROC.ADMIN_ROTATE_MASTER_KEY. Only users with SECADM authority should have permission to execute this procedure as it changes the key for an encrypted database.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Secure parameter keystore_location location
o Check that the database manager configuration parameter KEYSTORE_LOCATION is set to a secure location.
o Risk: Medium
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
Oracle
- EXECUTE on JAVA Packages GRANTED to PUBLIC
o Check that permissions to execute DBMS_JAVA, DBMS_JAVA_TEST and DBMS_JVM_EXP_PERMS packages have not been granted to the PUBLIC role.
o Risk: High
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
- Profile settings - Inactive Account Time
o Check for profiles with the INACTIVE_ACCOUNT_TIME parameter greater than the limit specified by the security policy.
o Risk: Low
o Relevant CVEs: N/A
