Description
Allowing any user to view log messages provides information to individuals that may be used to compromise the system. This information may provide system design, user access/IP addresses, interconnected systems, and security settings such as encryption used and version numbers. Controlling read access to this data, either through the Administrator Console or through the OS, must be controlled or limited to only those individuals who need access to fulfill their responsibilities.
