Description
Without the use of automated mechanisms to scan for security flaws on a continuous and/or periodic basis, the operating system or other system components may remain vulnerable to the exploits presented by undetected software flaws. To support this requirement, the Ubuntu operating system may have an integrated solution incorporating continuous scanning using HBSS and periodic scanning using other tools, as specified in the requirement.

Check Text ( C-99403r2_chk )
Verify the Ubuntu operating system deploys ENSLTP. Check that the following package has been installed: # dpkg -l \| grep isectp If the "isectp" package is not installed, this is a finding. Check that the daemon is running: # ps -ef \| grep isectpd root 7614 1 2 08:20 ? 00:00:02 /opt/isec/ens/threatprevention/bin/isectpd If the daemon is not running, then this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-106231r1_fix)
Configure the Ubuntu operating system to use ENSLTP. Install the isectp package, # sudo apt-get install isectp
