O112-C2-011900 - The DBMS must support the organizational requirements to specifically prohibit or restrict the use of unauthorized functions, ports, protocols, and/or services.

Information

Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations (e.g., key missions, functions).

Additionally, it is sometimes convenient to provide multiple services from a single component of an information system (e.g., email and web services), but doing so increases risk by constraining the ability to restrict the use of functions, ports, protocols, and/or services.

To support the requirements and principles of least functionality, the application must support the organizational requirements providing only essential capabilities and limiting the use of ports, protocols, and/or services to only those required, authorized, and approved to conduct official business or to address authorized quality of life issues.

Database Management Systems using ports, protocols, and services deemed unsafe are open to attack through those ports, protocols, and services. This can allow unauthorized access to the database and through the database to other components of the information system.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Disable functions, ports, protocols, and services that are not approved.

- - - - -

Change the SQLNET.ora, LISTENER.ora, and TNSNAMES.ora files to reflect the proper use of ports, protocols and services that are approved at the site.

If changes to the Listener are made, the files associated with the Listener must be reloaded. Do that by issuing the following commands at the Unix/Linux or Windows prompt.
First - issue the command to see what the current status is
$ lsnrctl stat
Then load the new file that was corrected to reflect site-specific requirements.
$ lsnrctl reload
Then check the status again to see that the changes have taken place
$ lsnrctl stat
