Description
Changes to any software components can have significant effects on the overall security of the network device. Verifying software components have been digitally signed using a certificate that is recognized and approved by the organization ensures the software has not been tampered with and has been provided by a trusted vendor. Accordingly, patches, service packs, or application components must be signed with a certificate recognized and approved by the organization. Verifying the authenticity of the software prior to installation validates the integrity of the patch or upgrade received from a vendor. This ensures the software has not been tampered with and has been provided by a trusted vendor. Self-signed certificates are disallowed by this requirement. The device should not have to verify the software again. This requirement does not mandate DOD certificates for this purpose; however, the certificate used to verify the software must be from an approved certificate authority (CA).

Check Text (C-269775r1051710_chk)

Determine if the OS10 Switch prevents the installation of patches, service packs, or application components without verifying the software component has been digitally signed using a certificate that is recognized and approved by the organization. Image install commands verify signatures if OS10 secure-boot is enabled. Verify that OS10 secure-boot feature is enabled with the following command: OS10# show secure-boot status Last boot was via secure boot : yes Secure boot configured : yes Latest startup config protected: yes BIOS secure boot: BIOS Secure boot configured: yes If BIOS Secure boot is not configured, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-73709r1051709_fix)

Install OS10 images with digital signature verification using the following command. Enable OS10 secure-boot, if necessary, with the following command. Reload the switch after enabling secure boot. OS10# secure-boot enable With OS10 secure-boot enabled, install OS10 images with the following command: OS10# image secure-install <image-filepath> {sha256 signature <signature-filepath> | gpg signature <signature-filepath> | pki signature <signature-filepath> publickey <key-file>}
