Description

The rsyslog daemon should not accept remote messages unless the system acts as a log server. To ensure that it is not listening on the network, ensure any of the following lines are not found in rsyslog configuration files. If using legacy syntax:

$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun port
$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun port
$ModLoad imrelp
$InputRELPServerRun port
        

If using RainerScript syntax:

module(load="imtcp")
module(load="imudp")
input(type="imtcp" port="514")
input(type="imudp" port="514")

Rationale

Any process which receives messages from the network incurs some risk of receiving malicious messages. This risk can be eliminated for rsyslog by configuring it not to listen on the network.

Remediation

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

legacy_regex='^\s*\$(((Input(TCP|RELP)|UDP)ServerRun)|ModLoad\s+(imtcp|imudp|imrelp))'
rainer_regex='^\s*(module|input)\((load|type)="(imtcp|imudp)".*$'

readarray -t legacy_targets < <(grep -l -E -r "${legacy_regex[@]}" /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/)
readarray -t rainer_targets < <(grep -l -E -r "${rainer_regex[@]}" /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/)

config_changed=false
if [ ${#legacy_targets[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
    for target in "${legacy_targets[@]}"; do
        sed -E -i "/$legacy_regex/ s/^/# /" "$target"
    done
    config_changed=true
fi

if [ ${#rainer_targets[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
    for target in "${rainer_targets[@]}"; do
        sed -E -i "/$rainer_regex/ s/^/# /" "$target"
    done
    config_changed=true
fi

if $config_changed; then
    systemctl restart rsyslog.service
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.
