Introduction

This update is a security content update. It contains updated console content, new and updated checks and policies, and updated patch databases, policy navigators and console database content. The update is compatible with, and suitable for application to all Assuria Auditor agents.

 

Security Content Updates

Security content based on newly published vendor security bulletins (or similar) is included for the agents listed below

  • HP HP-UX 11 (PA-RISC)

  • HP HP-UX 11 (IA-64)

Compliance Reporting - FISMA

The Console database update includes the mapping of Assuria Auditor checks to  ("FISMA") the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002.   The recently enhanced Assuria Auditor reporting fully supports the new FISMA mapping.

 

Assuria Auditor now includes the mapping of external standards and guidelines to checks for ISO 27001, ISO 27002 (formerly ISO 17799), PCI, SOX, BID and CVE.

 

The updated Policy Navigators allow the easy cross-reference of each standard to other standrads and checks.

 

Bug fixes

 

This bulletin contains a bug fix to the console, to fix a bug that caused a console crash when attempting to import a second or subsequent result file from the Maintenance-Options menu for the same agent.

 

This bulletin contains a bug fix to the AIX4.3 agent daemon, to fix a bug that caused a potential class assignment problem re-adding an existing agent.

 

This bulletin contains a bug fix to the csv reporting feature, to fix a bug which misattributed field titles and values in the detailed CSV file for vulnerabilities of type 'user'.
