Puppet Class: security_baseline::rules::common::sec_cups

Defined in:
manifests/rules/common/sec_cups.pp

Summary

Ensure CUPS is not enabled (Scored)

Overview

The Common Unix Print System (CUPS) provides the ability to print to both local and network printers. A system running CUPS can also accept print jobs from remote systems and print them to local printers. It also provides a web based remote administration capability.

Rationale: If the system does not need to print jobs or accept print jobs from other systems, it is recommended that CUPS be disabled to reduce the potential attack surface.

Examples:

class security_baseline::rules::common::sec_cups {
    enforce => true,
    message => 'Test',
    log_level => 'info'
}

Parameters:

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

    Enforce the rule or just test and log

  • message (String) (defaults to: '') —

    Message to print into the log

  • log_level (String) (defaults to: '') —

    The log_level for the above message
