Theoretical Basis¶

• Repo files are configuration files for yum repositories (software repositories) in Fedora. Typically, one repo file defines the details of one or more software repositories, such as where we will download the required installation or upgrade packages from. The settings in the repo files are read and applied by yum. If configured incorrectly, it can lead to service unavailability.

Risk Items¶

• Service unusability

Audit Method¶

• Verify if the /etc/yum.repos.d directory on the host has been illegally modified. You can run the following command to verify:

ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d

Remediation¶

• If the /etc/yum.repos.d directory on the host has been illegally modified, carefully examine the host environment to determine if there has been a breach, and change the host user passwords.
