1.2.1 Ensure package manager repositories are properly configured

Information

Systems need to have package manager repositories properly configured to ensure they receive the latest patches and updates.

Rationale:

If a system's package manager repositories are misconfigured, important patches may not be identified, or a rogue repository could introduce compromised software.

Solution

Configure your package manager repositories according to your vendor.
As an alternative, package manager repositories from nginx.org are available for a variety of Linux platforms.
