Description
Timely patching is critical for maintaining the operational availability, confidentiality, and integrity of information technology (IT) systems. However, failure to keep SLEM 5 and application software patched is a common mistake made by IT professionals. New patches are released frequently, and it is often difficult for even experienced system administrators (SAs) to keep up with of all the new patches. When new weaknesses in a SLEM 5 exist, patches are usually made available by the vendor to resolve the problems. If the most recent security patches and updates are not installed, unauthorized users may take advantage of weaknesses in the unpatched software. The lack of prompt attention to patching could result in a system compromise.

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.

Check Text (C-261273r996311_chk)

Verify SLEM 5 security patches and updates are installed and up to date. Note: Updates are required to be applied with a frequency determined by the site or Program Management Office (PMO). Check for required SLEM 5 patches and updates with the following command: > sudo zypper patch-check 0 patches needed (0 security patches) If the patch repository data is corrupt, check that the available package security updates have been installed on the system with the following command: > sudo cut -d "|" -f 1-4 -s --output-delimiter " | " /var/log/zypp/history | grep -v " radd " 2023-09-25 12:23:25 | install | cockpit-ws | 298-150500.1.4 2023-09-25 12:23:26 | install | cockpit-storaged | 298-150500.1.4 2023-09-25 12:23:26 | install | cockpit-selinux | 298-150500.1.4 If SLEM 5 has not been patched within the site or PMO frequency, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-64910r995685_fix)

Install the applicable SLEM 5 patches available from SUSE by running the following command: > sudo transactional-update patch > sudo reboot
