Description
A user who is at the console can reboot the system at the login screen. If restart or shutdown buttons are pressed at the login screen, this can create the risk of short-term loss of availability of systems due to reboot.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 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.

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 prevents a user from overriding the disable-restart-buttons setting for graphical user interfaces. Determine which profile the system database is using with the following command: $ grep system-db /etc/dconf/profile/user system-db:local Check that graphical settings are locked from nonprivileged user modification with the following command: Note: The example below is using the database "local" for the system, so the path is "/etc/dconf/db/local.d". This path must be modified if a database other than "local" is being used. $ grep disable-restart-buttons /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/* /org/gnome/login-screen/disable-restart-buttons If the command does not return at least the example result, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-75643r1091769_fix)

Configure OL 9 to prevent a user from overriding the disable-restart-buttons setting for graphical user interfaces. Create a database to contain the system-wide graphical user logon settings (if it does not already exist) with the following command: $ sudo touch /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/session Add the following line to prevent nonprivileged users from modifying it: /org/gnome/login-screen/disable-restart-buttons Run the following command to update the database: $ sudo dconf update
