Dopra Linux OS Security Feature Parameter Description 2 Dopra Linux Security Description
2 Dopra Linux Security Description
2.1 Introduction to the Dopra Linux
2.1.1 Overview
The Dopra Linux is a Linux-based operating system tailored to provide full security protection
for telecommunications products. As part of an end-to-end security solution, the Dopra Linux
is enhanced in hardware support, software commissioning, and performance to minimize
security risks.
A customized Dopra Linux consists of the kernel and root file system:
l Kernel: The Dopra Linux kernel is customized and has the latest patch installed, which
helps improve system security.
l Root file system: The Dopra Linux is a compact operating system where only useful
database and service components are installed in the file system. This helps minimize
security risks.
2.1.2 Differences Between the Dopra Linux and Other Operating

Systems
The Dopra Linux is a real-time embedded operating system. Compared with server and desktop
operating systems, the Dopra Linux meets the following security requirements:
l System-level security requirements, such as minimum installation, system tailoring, and

security patch management
l Anti-attack requirements for protocols and interfaces, such as use of secure protocols and
anti-attack features
l Requirements on product development, release, and installation, such as software
commissioning and integrity checking
l Sensitive data protection requirements, such as data confidentiality and integrity, use of
encryption algorithms, and use of secure transmission channels

SingleRAN
l Requirements for secure system management and maintenance, such as password,

authentication, authorization, log, and alarm management
2.2 Dopra Linux Security Overview

The main security threats for the Dopra Linux are security vulnerabilities, password cracking,
illegal operations, and information disclosure.
Table 2-1describes these threats.

NOTE
The Dopra Linux does not require antivirus software because few viruses target at Linux and only few
Dopra Linux ports are open. For details about Dopra Linux antivirus, see "3.4 Enhanced Antivirus
Policy."
2.3 Security Architecture

The Dopra Linux interfaces hardware (multi-core CPUs and other devices) and user-mode
processes. The Dopra Linux runs on medium- or high-end CPUs. As a multi-thread operating
system, the Dopra Linux features the security policies listed in Table 2-2.

Dopra Linux OS Security Feature Parameter Description 3 Dopra Linux Security Features
3 Dopra Linux Security Features
3.1 User Management
3.1.1 Dopra Linux Users

Dopra Linux users are categorized into root user, common user, service user, and lgnusr user.
The permission of these users is as follows:
l The root user has the highest operation permission, including read, write, and execute
permission. The read permission allows the root user to view the names and contents of
files under a directory. The write permission allows the root user to create or delete files
as well as modify file contents. The execute permission allows the root user to run shell
scripts or binary executable files. The root user can be granted read, write, and execute
permission to all files and directories.
V200R003C02SPC090, RTOS-V100R001C00SPC070, and later versions no longer allow
the root user to perform remote login. This measure helps enhance system security.
l Common users are created by the root user. They can log in to the Dopra Linux and create,
modify, or delete files under their specific home directories. For example, user jack can
perform relevant operations under the home directory /home/jack. In addition, common
users can run scripts or binary executable files under the /usr/bin and /bin directories.
l Service users are used by system service processes. Service users have the lowest operation
permission and cannot log in to the operating system. They are not created by the root user.
This prevents unauthorized users from attacking the operating system and reduces security
risks. Service user accounts in the Dopra Linux include sshd, nobody, haldaemon,
messagebox, and mysql.

SingleRAN
NOTE
l Sshd: sshd server users cannot login to the operating systerm.

l Nobody: portmap standard account of other system services cannot login to the operating systerm.
l Haldaemon: standard account used by haldaemon servers account cannot login to the operating
systerm.
l Messagebus:standard account used by D-BUS servers account cannot login to the operating
systerm.
l Mysql: used by mysql servers.
l The lgnusr user is an internal common user. Added in V200R003C02SPC090 and RTOS-
V100R001C00SPC070, the lgnusr user is used for Secure Shell (SSH) login. You can run
the su command to switch the lgnusr user to the root user to gain administrative rights. You
are advised to reserve the lgnusr user for SSH security.
3.1.2 Security Policies for User Management

Table 3-1 describes the security policies for user management in the Dopra Linux.
Table 3-1 Security policies for user management in the Dopra Linux
User Policy
Management
Password A user password must contain at least eight characters, including at least
complexity one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one special character, and
one digit.
Simple passwords (passwords defined in the weak password dictionary)
are not allowed.
NOTE
l You can run the zcat /usr/share/cracklib/cracklib-words.gz command to
view the weak password dictionary.
l For the Dopra Linux,you can run the create-cracklib-dict command to
update the weak password dictionary. For example, run the create-cracklib-
dict dict1.dat command to add words in dict1.dat to the weak password
dictionary.
l For the RTOS, the weak password dictionary cannot be viewed or modified
to prevent it from being disclosed.
The Dopra Linux records the history passwords of only common users.
By default, the Dopra Linux records a maximum of three history
passwords. The new password must be different with the history
passwords or the reverse of history passwords.
Common users can change only their own passwords. The root user can
change all users' passwords.

SingleRAN
User Policy
Management
Login message l For the Dopra Linux, the Dopra Linux prints the information about
the previous login after a login, including the login date, time, and
IP address. The information helps users determine whether
unauthorized users have used the account.
l For the RTOS, the information print function is disabled by default
after a successful login. You can enable the information print
function as follows: Run the vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config command to
open the sshd_config file, set PrintLastLog to yes, and run the
killall sshd command to restart the SSHD service.
Login permission By default, a user account is locked for 300 seconds at three consecutive
unsuccessful login attempts. The administrator can unlock the account.
Non-root users will be asked for old passwords when changing their
own passwords (old password is not required for the root user). This
policy strengthens the authentication procedure.
Root user The root user is the only superuser in the system and is authorized to
execute all scripts and executable files.
The password for the root user is customized before Dopra Linux
deployment.
Default user Default users are service users. They cannot log in to the Dopra Linux
and are only for service purposes.
Advance warning The default password validity period is 30 days. To enhance password
before password security, the Dopra Linux prompts users to change their passwords
expiration seven days before the passwords expire.
In versions earlier than V200R003C02SPC090, the default password
validity period is 30 days. In V200R003C02SPC090 and later versions,
the default password validity period is 90 days.
Passwords The Dopra Linux uses MD5 encryption algorithm to encrypt passwords
encryption in V200R003C02SPC080 and later.
NIS The Network Integration Service (NIS) is supported from RTOS-

V100R001C00SPC030 so that accounts are centrally managed to
enhance the password security.
3.1.3 Operations Related to User Management

Operations related to user management include creating, deleting, and switching users as well
as changing user passwords. This section uses user1 as an example to describe these operations.
l To create user1, run the following command:

useradd m user1 //After user1 is created, its home directory /home/user1 is also created.
l To delete user1, run the following command:

SingleRAN
userdel r user1 //After user1 is deleted, its home directory /home/user1 is also deleted.
l To change the password for user1, run the following command:
passwd user1 //Only user1 and the root user can change the password for user1.
The password must comply with the password complexity policy in Table 3-1. For example,
Huawei@751.
l To switch to user1, run the following command:
su user1 //The current user is switched to user1.
su - user1 //The current user is switched to user1. The hyphen (-) indicates that the
environment variables are also switched.
3.1.4 Operations Related to Password Complexity Management

NOTE
It is recommended that you not modify password complexity settings to enhance password security.
You can set the following parameters in the /etc/pam.d/common-password file to modify
password complexity settings:
l retry = N: You have N attempts to change the password each time you run the passwd
command. N is an integer from 1 to 256. The default value is 6.
l lcredit = N: A password contains at least N lower-case letters. N is an integer from 0 to
127. The default value is 1 for the Dopra Linux OS and 0 for the RTOS.
l ucredit = N: A password contains at least N upper-case letters. N is an integer from 0 to
127. The default value is 1 for the Dopra Linux OS and 0 for the RTOS.
l dcredit = N: A password contains at least N digits. N is an integer from 0 to 127. The
default value is 1 for the Dopra Linux OS and 0 for the RTOS.
l ocredit = N: A password contains at least N special characters(~!@#$%^&*()_+`-={}|[]
\:";'<>?,./). N is an integer from 0 to 127. The default value is 1 for the Dopra Linux OS
and 0 for the RTOS.
l minlen = N: A password contains at least N characters. N is an integer from 6 to 127. The
default value is 8.
l enforce_root: A password policy takes effect to the root user. After this parameter is
deleted, the password policy does not take effect to the root user.
l remember = N: N previous passwords are recorded for common users. N is an integer from
0 to 400. The default value is 3 for the Dopra Linux OS and 5 for the RTOS. This rule does
not take effect for the root user to change the passwords for itself and other accounts.
l uname_check: A password cannot be the same as any user name or be any user name in
reverse order. This function is enabled by default.
3.1.5 Operations Related to Password Setting

NOTE
In versions earlier than V100R001C03SPC030, the password lock and validity period cannot be changed
because the etc/pam.conf file and chage command are not supported in these versions.
You can set the following options in the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file to modify password
locking settings:

SingleRAN
l deny=N, which indicates that the login account is locked when the number of unsuccessful
login attempts exceeds N. N is an integer between 1 to 32. The default value is 3.
l unlock_time=N, which indicates that the user account is locked for N seconds when the
maximum number of unsuccessful login attempts is exceeded. N is an integer between 1
to 3600. The default value is 300.
You can run the following commands to view or modify password time settings:
l chage -l user1 //You can view the parameters such as the minimum interval at which a
password must be changed (Minimum), the maximum interval at which a password must
be changed (Maximum), and advance warning before password expires (Warning).
l chage -m N common user //N indicates the minimum interval at which a common user's
password must be changed, which means you can change the password N days later. N is
an integer between 0 to 99999. If N is set to 0, you can change the password anytime. This
option does not apply to the root user.
l chage -M N root/common user //N indicates the maximum interval at which common user's
password must be changed. N is an integer between 1 to 99999.
l chage -W N root/common user //N indicates the advance warning days before a common
user's password expires. N is an integer between 1 to 99999.
3.2 File System and Permission Management

File system permission is categorized into read, write, and execute permission. The root user
can operate all files. Common users can operate only their own files. Permission management
ensures file security.
3.2.1 Directory Protection

The Dopra Linux restricts directory access permission. You can run the ll or ls l command to
query the read, write, and execute permission on files and sub-directories in different directories.
The following is an example:

Jasper / # ll total 112
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 6 22:10 bin
drw-r----- 6 root root 4096 Jul 7 23:08 boot
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 5560 Jul 7 19:11 dev
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jul 7 23:15 etc
drwxr-x--x 4 root root 4096 Jul 7 21:19 home
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29 Jul 5 22:24 init
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 6 22:10 lib
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jul 5 22:23 lost+found
d-wx---r-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:24 mbsc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:24 media
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:25 mnt
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:24 none
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:24 opt
dr-xr-xr-x 114 root root 0 Jul 7 19:10 proc
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 7 22:06 root
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jul 7 21:25 sbin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23713 Jul 5 22:24 sc_init
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:24 srv
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 0 Jul 7 19:10 sys
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jul 11 03:30 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:25 usb

SingleRAN
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 5 22:24 usr

drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 6 22:10 var
The following uses the last line as an example to explain the command output:
l In drwxr-xr-x:
d means directory. Files are not started with d.
rwx indicates that the file or directory creator has read, write, and execute permission.
r-x indicates that users who belong to the same user group as the file or directory creator
have read and execute permission.
The second r-x indicates that users who do not belong to the same user group as the file
or directory creator have read and execute permission.
NOTE
The root user has the highest permission and can operate all files created by other users.
l 10 indicates the number of hard connections to the directory.
l root indicates that the file or directory is created by the root user.
l The second root indicates that the file or directory creator is in the root user group.
l 4096 indicates the directory or file size (excluding files or sub-directories under the
directory).
l Jul 6 22:10 is the time when the file or directory was last modified.
l var is the file or directory name.
3.2.2 File Protection

The Dopra Linux restricts common users' access to system files.
l Common users can access the home directory (for example, /home/jack) of other users.
However, they are not authorized to run the ls l command to query other users' information.
l Common users cannot modify or delete commands, library files, and directories storing
device files (/dev) or configuration files (/etc).
l Only the root user is authorized to access system command management directories (/
sbin and /usr/sbin) and log files in /var/log.
NOTE
The read permission to a directory indicates that a user can view the files and sub-directories under the
directory. The write permission indicates that a user can create files and sub-directories under the directory.
The execute permission does not apply to directories.
The read permission to a file indicates that a user can view the contents in the file. The write permission
to a file indicates that a user can edit the contents in the file. The execute permission to a file indicates that
a user can execute the commands in the file.
Users can run the setfacl command to set access permission to a file. For example, in the setfacl
-m u:user1:rw a.dat command, user1 has read and write permission to a.dat.
3.3 Network Management

SingleRAN
3.3.1 Protocols Enabled by Default

By default, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) are enabled in the Dopra Linux.
3.3.2 Services Enabled by Default

The SSH version in the latest Dopra Linux is OpenSSH 5.2p1. This version enhances the security
of SSH services. The SSH service uses port 22. The ports for other system services are closed
by default.
Table 3-2 describes the default services provided in the Dopra Linux.

3.3.3 Ports Opened by Default

For details about the default ports opened in the Dopra Linux, see Communication Matrix
delivered with the product.
You can run the netstat -nlp command to view all listening ports.
3.3.4 System Firewall iptables

iptables is a kernel-level component in the Linux for filtering IP packets. When Linux is
connected to the Internet, local area networks (LANs), servers, or Internet proxies, iptables act
as a firewall to filter IP packets.
Being integrated into the Dopra Linux, iptables does not need to be configured by default.
However, users can define rules in the iptables if required. When defining rules for a live
network, note the following points:
l Do not modify existing rules.

l Write scripts to ensure that defined rules automatically take effect upon system startup.
l Define rules again after the Dopra Linux is upgraded or updated, as defined rules are deleted
after the system is upgraded or updated.
3.3.5 Security Policies Related to TCP/IP Stacks

Dopra Linux does not support IPv6 by default. Table 3-3 describes security policies related to
the IPv4 TCP/IP stack. These items are configured in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. Default settings
in Table 3-3 are recommended by Huawei to ensure optimum security and performance, and
generally should not be changed.

SingleRAN
NOTE
The configuration items of TCP/IP stacks are named in the format of "net + protocol + conf + all/default/
device + attribute". Where, device means a logical interface, such as eth1, bond2, and vlan3, default is used
to initialize an interface as it is initialized and loaded, and all means to apply to all interfaces.
Table 3-3 Configuration items
Item Defaul Description

t Value
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ig- 0 for the This parameter defines the modes for sending replies
nore RTOS in response to received ARP requests that resolve
1 for the local target IP addresses.
net.ipv4.conf.default.arp_i
Dopra l 0: Reply to any local target IP address,
gnore
Linux irrespective of its interface.
l 1: Reply only if the target IP address is the local
address configured on the incoming interface.
l 2: Reply only if the target IP address is the local
address configured on the incoming interface,
and both the sender's and receiver's IP addresses
are in the same subnet.
l 3: Reply only resolutions for global and link
addresses, and do not reply to local addresses
configured with scope host.
l 4-7: Reserved.
l 8: Do not reply to local addresses.
net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_ 1 If this item is enabled and primary address of an

secondaries interface is deleted, an alias of the interface will be
upgraded to the primary one.
net.ipv4.conf.default.prom
ote_secondaries
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter 1 l 0: The kernel can respond to ARP requests with

addresses from other interfaces. This may seem
net.ipv4.conf.default.arp_f wrong but it actually makes sense because it
ilter increases the number of successful
communication attempts. IP addresses are owned
by the complete host on the Linux, not by specific
interfaces.
l 1: This value allows you to have multiple network
interfaces on the same subnet and have the ARPs
for each interface be answered based on whether
the kernel can route packets from the ARP's IP
address out of that interface.
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_so 0 This parameter specifies whether to accept routing

urce_route extension headers.
If the value for this parameter is greater than or equal
to 0, only the routing header type 2 is accepted.

SingleRAN

t Value
net.ipv4.conf.default.acce If this value is less than 0, routing header is not

pt_source_route accepted.
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_re 0 It is assumed that the network segment where the

directs host is located has two routers, and one of them is set
as the default gateway. When another router sends
net.ipv4.conf.default.acce IP packets to the gateway, the router also sends an
pt_redirects ICMP redirect message, instructing the gateway to
forward those packets to other routers.
l 1 means to accept the redirect forwarding.
l 0 means to ignore the redirect forwarding.
It is recommended that this parameter be set to 0
to eliminate potential security risks.
net.ipv4.conf.all.secure_re 0 This parameter specifies the secure redirect

directs forwarding function. When this function is enabled,
only ICMP redirect messages from the gateway are
net.ipv4.conf.default.secur accepted.
e_redirects
l 1 means to enable the function.
l 0 means to disable the function.
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_re- 0 This parameter specifies whether to send redirect

directs messages.
net.ipv4.conf.default.send l 1 means to send.

_redirects l 0 means not to send.
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout 60 This parameter specifies the duration for keeping

packets in the FIN-WAIT-2 state. If the value of this
parameter is too large, memory overflow may occur.
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies 1 This parameter specifies whether to send syncookies

when the syn backlog queue overflows. This
parameter is valid only when CONFIG_SYNCOO-
KIES is set during kernel compilation.1 means to
send.0 means not to send.
net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries 1 This parameter specifies the number of times initial

SYN messages for an active TCP connection attempt
will be retransmitted.
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_re- 1 This parameter specifies the number of times SYN-

tries ACK messages for a passive TCP connection
attempt will be retransmitted.
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_bac 4096 This parameter specifies the maximum number of

klog unacknowledged connection requests.

SingleRAN

t Value
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignor 1 This parameter specifies whether to ignore broadcast

e_broadcasts and multicast messages.
l 1 means to ignore.
l 0 means not to ignore.
kernel.panic_on_oops 1 This parameter specifies the kernel's behavior when

it encounters an exception or bug.
l 0: Attempt to continue operations.
l 1: Stop (panic) immediately. If sysctl is also non-
zero, the server will be rebooted.
kernel.printk 6417 This parameter specifies where to send log messages

according to their priorities. This parameter has four
default values, which denote console_loglevel,
default_message_loglevel, minimum_console_lo-
glevel, and default_console_loglevel, respectively.
l console_loglevel: Messages with a priority
higher than this level will be printed to the
console.
l default_message_loglevel: Messages without an
explicit priority will be printed with this level.
l minimum_console_loglevel: This level is the
minimum (highest) value to which
console_loglevel can be set.
l default_console_loglevel: This is the default
value for console_loglevel.
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps 0 This parameter specifies whether to add a 12-byte

timestamp to TCP headers.
l 0 means not to add the timestamp.
l 1 means to add the timestamp.
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bog 1 This parameter specifies whether to ignore "bogus

us_error_responses error message responses".
l 1 means to ignore.
l 0 means not to ignore.
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter 1 This parameter specifies whether to enable IP

spoofing protection and turns on source route
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_fil verification.
ter
l 1 means yes.
l 0 means no.
It is recommended that you set this parameter to
1 for a single host or routers in a stub network.

SingleRAN

t Value
kernel.sysrq 0 This parameter specifies the magic-sysrq key.

If the parameter is set to non-zero, the system request
key is activated.
3.3.6 Security Policies Related to SSH

The Dopra Linux does not support insecure or non-encrypted protocols, such as File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Instead, it uses secure protocols such
as SSH and SFTP.
Table 3-4 lists the configurations for SSH.
Table 3-4 Configurations for SSH
Item Default Value Description
Ciphers 3des-cbc and Uses the 3des-cbc and aes128-cbc encryption

aes128-cbc algorithm.
MACs hmac-md5 Sets the message authentication code (MAC)

algorithm to the secure message digest algorithm
5 (MD5) for ensuring data integrity.
Protocol 2 Forcibly enables SSH V2.0.
LogLevel VERBOSE Sets a message level to Verbose to log user login

information for auditing.
StrictModes Yes Forcibly checks file permission and the login user's
permission to the home directory and files.
PubkeyAuthentica- Yes Allows public key authentication.

tion
PermitEmptyPass- No Forbids login with an empty password.

words
PermitRootLogin No Allows the root user to remotely log in to the Dopra

Linux. You can disable this function for security.
UsePAM Yes Uses the pluggable authentication modules

(PAM), a more scalable scheme, for
authentication.
Banner /etc/issue.net Displays banners after a user logs in to the Dopra

Linux using SSH. The default banner is: "You are
trying to access a restricted zone. Only Authorized
Users allowed."

SingleRAN
NOTE
You can run the vi /etc/issue.net command to modify banners.
3.3.7 Operations Related to SSH

The following part describes operations associated with SSH.
Secure Logins
To log in to a target computer (for example, with an IP address of 192.168.0.241) that provides
SSH services:
Run the ssh root@192.168.0.241 command to log in as the root user, or run the ssh
user1@192.168.0.241 command to log in as user user1.
Secure Copy
To copy data (for example, /home/filename) from a Linux server that provides SSH services
to /home of a target computer (for example, with an IP address of 192.168.0.241):
Run the scp -r /home/filename root@192.168.0.241:/home command.
SFTP Operations
A computer running Dopra Linux can function as a server to provide SFTP services. To connect
to a target computer (for example, with an IP address of 192.168.0.241):
Run the sftp 192.168.0.241 command.
Forbidding remote login of the root user

You are advised to disable the remote login of the root user. V200R003C02SPC090, RTOS-
V100R001C00SPC070, and later versions no longer allow the root user to perform remote login.
To disable remote login, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Add a common user that can log in to the Dopra Linux remotely. For example:
l Run the useradd m user1 command to add user user1 and create directory /home/user1.
l Run the passwd user1 command to set or change the password (for example,
Tom@520123) for user user1. For details about the password policy, see "3.1.2 Security
Policies for User Management".
Step 2 Modify the configuration file. Log in as the root user, and set PermitRootLogin to no in the /
etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
Step 3 Run the killall sshd command to restart the SSH service. The modification takes effect after the
SSH service restarts.
----End
NOTE
After the sshd process is killed, the SSH service becomes unavailable. Several seconds later, the SSH
service restarts automatically.

SingleRAN
To permit remote login of user root, set PermitRootLogin to yes in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config
file, and restart the SSH service.
3.4 Enhanced Antivirus Policy
3.4.1 Virus Entry Control

The Dopra Linux disables idle ports and uses secure protocols (such as SSH and SFTP) only,
making itself much less vulnerable to virus attacks.
The Dopra Linux uses enhanced password polices, such as forced lockout after three failed
password attempts. These policies greatly improve the anti-hacking capability.
3.4.2 Post-entry Virus Control

The Dopra Linux defines strict permission control, which means that only the root user has the
write permissions to system files and log files. Therefore, even virus files are falsely executed,
only files to which the login user has the write permissions will be corrupted. System running
and log files are not affected.
Though the Dopra Linux does not run any antivirus software, it is insusceptible to virus attacks
unless the root user password is cracked. In addition, the root user password is well protected
by the following measures:
l Uses enhanced password policies.

l Forces the user to log out after defined failed password attempts.
3.5 Operating System Integrity Protection
3.5.1 Product Development Security

The Dopra Linux image contains vmlinuz (kernel) and initrd (root file system), where the kernel
mode and user mode are separated. This method enhances Dopra Linux security.
V200R003C02SPC080, RTOS-V100R001C00, and later versions support security loophole
scan using the Nessus and port and protocol scan using the NMap.
V200R003C02SPC090, RTOS-V100R001C00SPC070, and later versions support security
loophole scan using the Retina.
3.5.2 Product Release Security

Before the Dopra Linux is released, it is scanned by antivirus software Symantec, McAfee, Avira,
and Trend to ensure that it is virus free.
3.5.3 Product Installation Security

Before being released, the Dopra Linux upgrade packages are digitally signed using the MD5
algorithm. The Dopra Linux automatically authenticates digital signatures before the upgrade.
The upgrade can be performed only after the authentication succeeds.

SingleRAN
3.6 System and Security Log Management

Logs record system running information and are of vital importance to system security. Major
log functions include auditing and monitoring. With logs, you can diagnose problems, monitor
real-time system status, and track traces left by attackers.
3.6.1 Log Files

Only the root user can view log files and description under the log directory /var/log. The
following describes log files in the Dopra Linux:
l acpid
A log file for the daemon of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI),
which notifies the user-space program of advanced configuration and power management
events.
l audit
A log file for the audit daemon, which writes kernel information generated by applications
and system activities into hard disk.
l dlinstall.log/dlrecover.log/dlupgrade.log
Log files recording information about system installation, rollback, and upgrade.
l faillog
A log file recording the number of failed logins due to incorrect user name or password.
This file is encrypted. Running the vi/cat command cannot open this file. You can run
faillog to view this file.
l messages
A log file recording kernel and system information.
You can run vi/cat to view this file.
l warn
A log file recording all warnings and error information.
l wtmp
A log file recording all remote and local logins, changes in system running level, and time
of the changes.
This file is encrypted. You can run last to view this file.
3.6.2 Real-Time Access Information Recording

The Dopra Linux records real-time Dopra Linux login and logout information in logs. For details
about how to manage these logs, see section "Configuring the Function of Recording OMU OS
Accessing Information in Real Time" in OMU Administration Guide.
3.7 System Upgrade and Patch Policy

Due to defects in product design or development, the Dopra Linux may have certain
vulnerabilities, for example, service errors or authentication failures. These vulnerabilities may

SingleRAN
pose security threats such as hacking or viruses. You can install patches to eliminate these system
vulnerabilities.
3.7.1 Patch Installation

By default, security patches are applied on the Dopra Linux every 12 months.
3.7.2 Upgrade
Currently, the Dopra Linux version and product version are independent. The Dopra Linux
upgrade does not affect applications that have been installed on the source Dopra Linux, when
the hard disk partition settings on the source and destination Dopra Linux versions are the same.
You can upgrade the Dopra Linux using either of the following methods:
l USB upgrade
l Web upgrade
For details about upgrade methods, see Guide to Dopra Linux Operating System Remote Patch
Upgrade delivered with Dopra Linux patches.
NOTE
You must restart the system after an upgrade is complete. If you upgrade the Dopra Linux using the web
mode, you can roll back the Dopra Linux to the source version if the upgrade fails. If you upgrade the
Dopra Linux using the USB mode, you have to reinstall the Dopra Linux if the upgrade fails.
If you upgrade the RTOS or certain Dopra Linux versions using the web mode, the version cannot be rolled
back. In this case, the USB upgrade is recommended. The following versions can be rolled back when they
are upgraded to V200R003C02SPC090 using the web mode.
l V100R001C03 initial versions
l V200R003C02SPC030
l V200R003C02SPC070
l V200R003C02SPC080

Dopra Linux OS Security Feature Parameter Description 4 Base Station Applications
4 Base Station Applications
The base station operating system patches are packed in the base station product version, and
therefore an separated operating system upgrade is not supported on the base station. However
if any security risks are exposed in RTOS versions, you can run the operating system patches
by way of the product version upgrade because these patches are packed in the latest product
version.
NOTE
If the product version includes RTOS patches, the patch information will be addressed in the Release
Notes of base stations.
The base station operating system is not visible for users because the patches are packed in the
base station software.
l Of all operating system security policies of the base station, only the anti-virus policy is
provided by the operating system. For details, see "3.4 Enhanced Antivirus Policy."
l Other than the antivirus policy, operating system security policies are packed in the base
station software. For details, see the Equipment Security Feature Parameter Description.
