Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 8 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-271671r1091725_chk)

This requirement assumes the use of the OL 9 default graphical user interface—the GNOME desktop environment. If the system does not have any graphical user interface installed, this requirement is Not Applicable. Verify that OL 9 disables the graphical user interface autorun function with the following command: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling autorun-never true If "autorun-never" is set to "false", and is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-75628r1091724_fix)

Configure the GNOME desktop to disable the autorun function on removable media. The dconf settings can be edited in the /etc/dconf/db/* location. Update the [org/gnome/desktop/media-handling] section of the "/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings" database file and add or update the following lines: [org/gnome/desktop/media-handling] autorun-never=true Update the dconf system databases: $ sudo dconf update
