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.

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 [ ! -f /.dockerenv ] && [ ! -f /run/.containerenv ]; 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.
