RHEA-2009:1073 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
aide enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An enhanced aide package that contains minor adjustments to the aide.conf
configuration file to offer improved initial behavior is now available.
Description
Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is a program that creates a
database of files on a system, and then uses that database to ensure file
integrity and detect system intrusions.
This updated aide package adds the following enhancement:
- the /var/run/utmp configuration file is now correctly treated as a log
file, and the hidden files (also known as "dot files") located in the root
user's home directory are now checked for permission integrity only. These
enhancements to AIDE should cause systems to produce fewer false alarms
concerning files which have changed. (BZ#476542)
Users of aide are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds
this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
