The rsyslog package is a third party package that provides many enhancements to syslog, such as multi-threading, TCP communication, message filtering and data base support. Rationale: The security enhancements of rsyslog such as connection-oriented (i.e. TCP) transmission of logs, the option to log to database formats, and the encryption of log data en route to a central logging server) justify installing and configuring the package. Fix: Ensure rsyslog or syslog-ng is installed: # apt-get install rsyslog [yes/no] Ensure rsyslog or syslog-ng is installed: # apt-get install rsyslog oval:org.secpod.oval:def:65989 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:87320 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:92209 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:85116 SCAP Repo OVAL Definition 2023-08-23
