Title

Redis Enterprise DBMS must enforce authorized access to all PKI private keys stored/used by Redis Enterprise DBMS.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>The DoD standard for authentication is DoD-approved PKI certificates. PKI certificate-based authentication is performed by requiring the certificate holder to cryptographically prove possession of the corresponding private key. If the private key is stolen, an attacker can use the private key(s) to impersonate the certificate holder. In cases where the DBMS-stored private keys are used to authenticate the DBMS to the system's clients, loss of the corresponding private keys would...

Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)

Apply or modify access controls and permissions (in the file system/operating system) to tools used to view or modify where the certificates are stored. Tools must be accessible by authorized personnel only. /etc/opt/redislabs (or wherever the organizationally defined location for certificates are stored) should have an appropriate and documented admin user and group owner and the directory should not have permissions more than 700. To update these permissions, run the following commands: chown redislabs:redislabs /etc/opt/redislabs chmod 700 /etc/opt/redislabs/proxy_cert.pem
