= Lynis 2.1.x (2015-xx-xx) =
This release adds several improvements and in different areas. Support for systems
like CentOS, openSUSE, Slackware is improved. It includes further cleanups of the
code, performance tweaks and more support for common software components.
Performance:
Performance tuning has been applied, to speed up execution of the audit on
systems with many files.
Automatic updater:
Initial work on an automatic updater has been implemented. This way Lynis can
be scheduled for updating from a trusted source.
Internal functions:
As not all systems have readlink, or the -f option of readlink, the
ShowSymlinkPath function has been extended with a Python based check.
Software support:
Apache module directory /usr/lib64/apache has been added, which is used on openSUSE.
Support for Chef has been added.
File integrity:
Added tests for CSF's lfd utility for integrity monitoring on directories and
files. Related tests are FINT-4334 and FINT-4336.
Time sychronization:
Added support for Chrony time daemon and timesync daemon. Additionally NTP
sychronization status is checked when it is enabled.
Other:
Check for permissions has been extended.
Python binary is now detected, to help with symlink detection.
Several new legal terms, for usage in banners, have been added.
In several files old tests have been removed, to further clean up the code.
The hardening index is inserted into the report, even if it is not displayed on screen.
Bug fixes:
Nginx test showed error when access_log had multiple parameters
Functions:
Added AddSystemGroup function
New tests:
[PKGS-7366] Scan for debsecan utility on Debian systems
[PKGS-7410] Determine amount of installed kernel packages
[TIME-3106] Check synchronization status of NTP on systemd based systems
[CONT-8102] Docker daemon status and gather basic details
[CONT-8104] Check docker info for any Docker warnings
[CONT-8106] Check total, running and unused Docker containers
