Description
Journald supports the ability to receive messages from remote hosts,
thus acting as a log server. Clients should not receive data from
other hosts.
NOTE:
The same package, systemd-journal-remote , is used for both sending
logs to remote hosts and receiving incoming logs.
With regards to receiving logs, there are two Systemd unit files;
systemd-journal-remote.socket and systemd-journal-remote.service.
Rationale
If a client is configured to also receive data, thus turning it into
a server, the client system is acting outside it’s operational boundary.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}
' 'kernel' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed; then
SOCKET_NAME="systemd-journal-remote.socket"
SYSTEMCTL_EXEC='/usr/bin/systemctl'
if "$SYSTEMCTL_EXEC" -q list-unit-files --type socket | grep -q "$SOCKET_NAME"; then
"$SYSTEMCTL_EXEC" stop "$SOCKET_NAME"
"$SYSTEMCTL_EXEC" mask "$SOCKET_NAME"
fi
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
Ansible playbook
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
