Puppet Class: cis_security_hardening::rules::mcstrans

Defined in:
manifests/rules/mcstrans.pp

Summary

Ensure the MCS Translation Service (mcstrans) is not installed

Overview

The mcstransd daemon provides category label information to client processes requesting information. The label translations are defined in /etc/selinux/targeted/setrans.conf

Rationale: Since this service is not used very often, remove it to reduce the amount of potentially vulnerable code running on the system.

Examples:

class cis_security_hardening::rules::mcstrans {
    enforce => true,
}

Parameters:

  • enforce (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Enforce the rule
