Abstract

For a system administrator, having to perform security vulnerability analysis and software update on a daily basis can be a burden. To avoid downtime in production environment, it is common for system administrator to choose not to use the automatic update option provided by package manager and to perform update manually. This leads to the following problems.

  • System administrator will have to constantly watch out for any new vulnerabilities in NVD(National Vulnerability Database) or similar databases.
  • It might be impossible for the system administrator to monitor all the software if there are a large number of software installed in server.
  • It is expensive to perform analysis to determine the servers affected by new vulnerabilities. The possibility of overlooking a server or two during analysis is there.

Vuls is a tool created to solve the problems listed above. It has the following characteristics.

  • Informs users of the vulnerabilities that are related to the system.
  • Informs users of the servers that are affected.
  • Vulnerability detection is done automatically to prevent any oversight.
  • Report is generated on regular basis using CRON or other methods. to manage vulnerability.

What Vuls Doesn't Do

  • Vuls doesn't update the vulnerable packages.

Setup Vuls

There are 2 ways to setup Vuls.


Tutorial: Hello Vuls

This tutorial will let you scan the vulnerabilities on the localhost with Vuls.
This can be done in the following steps.

  1. Launch Amazon Linux
  2. Enable to ssh from localhost
  3. Install requirements
  4. Deploy go-cve-dictionary
  5. Deploy Vuls
  6. Configuration
  7. Prepare
  8. Scan
  9. Reporting
  10. TUI(Terminal-Based User Interface)
  11. Web UI (VulsRepo)

Step1. Launch Amazon Linux

Step2. SSH setting

This is required to ssh to itself.

Create a keypair then append public key to authorized_keys

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Vuls doesn't support SSH password authentication. So you have to use SSH key-based authentication.
And also, SUDO with password is not supported for security reasons. So you have to define NOPASSWORD in /etc/sudoers on target servers.

Step3. Install requirements

Vuls requires the following packages.

$ ssh [email protected]  -i ~/.ssh/private.pem
$ sudo yum -y install sqlite git gcc
$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.7.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.7.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ mkdir $HOME/go

Add these lines into /etc/profile.d/goenv.sh

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

Set the OS environment variable to current shell

$ source /etc/profile.d/goenv.sh

Step4. Deploy go-cve-dictionary

$ sudo mkdir /var/log/vuls
$ sudo chown ec2-user /var/log/vuls
$ sudo chmod 700 /var/log/vuls
$
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/kotakanbe
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kotakanbe
$ git clone https://github.com/kotakanbe/go-cve-dictionary.git
$ cd go-cve-dictionary
$ make install

The binary was built under $GOPARH/bin

Fetch vulnerability data from NVD.
It takes about 10 minutes (on AWS).

$ cd $HOME
$ for i in {2002..2016}; do go-cve-dictionary fetchnvd -years $i; done
... snip ...
$ ls -alh cve.sqlite3
-rw-r--r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 7.0M Mar 24 13:20 cve.sqlite3

Step5. Deploy Vuls

Launch a new terminal and SSH to the ec2 instance.

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/future-architect
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/future-architect
$ git clone https://github.com/future-architect/vuls.git
$ cd vuls
$ make install

The binary was built under $GOPARH/bin

Step6. Config

Create a config file(TOML format).
Then check the config.

$ cd $HOME
$ cat config.toml
[servers]

[servers.172-31-4-82]
host         = "172.31.4.82"
port        = "22"
user        = "ec2-user"
keyPath     = "/home/ec2-user/.ssh/id_rsa"

$ vuls configtest

Step7. Setting up target servers for Vuls

$ vuls prepare

see Usage: Prepare

Step8. Start Scanning

$ vuls scan

Step11. Web UI

VulsRepo is a awesome Web UI for Vuls.
Check it out the Online Demo.


Setup Vuls in a Docker Container

see https://github.com/future-architect/vuls/tree/master/setup/docker


Architecture

A. Scan via SSH Mode

Vuls-Architecture

B. Scan without SSH (Local Scan Mode)

Deploy Vuls to the scan target server. Vuls issues a command to the local host (not via SSH). Aggregate the JSON of the scan result into another server. Since it is necessary to access the CVE database in order to refine the scan result, start go-cve-dictionary in server mode beforehand. On the aggregation server, you can refer to the scanning result of each scan target server using WebUI or TUI.

Vuls-Architecture Local Scan Mode Details

  • Fetch vulnerability information from NVD and JVN(Japanese), then insert into SQLite3 or MySQL.

Scanning Flow

Vuls-Scan-Flow

  • Scan vulnerabilities on the servers via SSH and collect a list of the CVE ID
    • To scan Docker containers, Vuls connect via ssh to the Docker host and then docker exec to the containers. So, no need to run sshd daemon on the containers.

Performance Considerations

  • On Ubuntu and Debian
    Vuls issues apt-get changelog for each upgradable packages and parse the changelog.
    apt-get changelog is slow and resource usage is heavy when there are many updatable packages on target server.
    Vuls stores these changelogs to KVS(boltdb).
    From the second time on, the scan speed is fast by using the local cache.

  • On CentOS
    Vuls issues yum update --changelog to get changelogs of upgradable packages at once and parse the changelog.
    Scan speed is fast and resource usage is light.

  • On Amazon, RHEL and FreeBSD
    High speed scan and resource usage is light because Vuls can get CVE IDs by using package manager(no need to parse a changelog).

| Distribution| Scan Speed | |:------------|:-------------------|:-------------| | Ubuntu | First time: Slow / From the second time: Fast | | Debian | First time: Slow / From the second time: Fast | | CentOS | Fast | | Amazon | Fast | | RHEL | Fast | | FreeBSD | Fast |


Use Cases

Scan All Servers

Vuls-Usecase1

Scan a Single Server

web/app server in the same configuration under the load balancer

Vuls-Usecase2

Scan Staging Environment

If there is a staging environment with the same configuration as the production environment, you can scan the server in staging environment

    Vuls supports two types of SSH. One is native go implementation. The other is external SSH command. For details, see -ssh-external option

    Multiple SSH authentication methods are supported.

    • SSH agent
    • SSH public key authentication (with password and empty password) Password authentication is not supported.

Usage: Configtest

Configtest subcommand check if vuls is able to connect via ssh to servers/containers defined in the config.toml.

  -log-dir string
        /path/to/log (default "/var/log/vuls")
  -ssh-external
        Use external ssh command. Default: Use the Go native implementation

And also, configtest subcommand checks sudo settings on target servers whether Vuls is able to SUDO with nopassword via SSH.

Example of /etc/sudoers on target servers

  • CentOS, RHEL (CentOS 5 needs also /bin/echo)
vuls ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/yum (, /bin/echo)
  • Ubuntu, Debian
vuls ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/apt-cache
  • It is possible to scan without root privilege for Amazon Linux, FreeBSD.

-ssh-external option

Vuls supports different types of SSH.

By Default, using a native Go implementation from crypto/ssh.
This is useful in situations where you may not have access to traditional UNIX tools.

To use external ssh command, specify this option.
This is useful If you want to use ProxyCommand or cipher algorithm of SSH that is not supported by native go implementation.
Don't forget to add below line to /etc/sudoers on the target servers. (username: vuls)

Defaults:vuls !requiretty

-ask-key-password option

SSH key password -ask-key-password
empty password -
with password required or use ssh-agent

Example: Scan all servers defined in config file

$ vuls scan -ask-key-password

With this sample command, it will ..

  • Ask SSH key password before scanning
  • Scan all servers defined in config file

Example: Scan specific servers

$ vuls scan server1 server2

With this sample command, it will ..

  • Use SSH Key-Based authentication with empty password (without -ask-key-password option)
  • Scan only 2 servers (server1, server2)

Example: Scan via shell instead of SSH.

Vuls scans localhost instead of SSH if the host address is localhst or 127.0.0.1 and the port is local in config. For more details, see Architecture section

  • config.toml
    [servers]
    
    [servers.localhost]
    host         = "localhost" # or "127.0.0.1"
    port         = "local"
    

Example: Scan containers (Docker/LXD)

It is common that keep containers running without SSHd daemon.
see Docker Blog:Why you don't need to run SSHd in your Docker containers

Docker

Vuls scans Docker containers via docker exec instead of SSH.
For more details, see Architecture section

  • To scan all of running containers
    "${running}" needs to be set in the containers item.

    [servers]
    
    [servers.172-31-4-82]
    host         = "172.31.4.82"
    user        = "ec2-user"
    keyPath     = "/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa"
    containers = ["${running}"]
    
  • To scan specific containers
    The container ID or container name needs to be set in the containers item.
    In the following example, only container_name_a and 4aa37a8b63b9 will be scanned.
    Be sure to check these containers are running state before scanning.
    If specified containers are not running, Vuls gives up scanning with printing error message.

With this sample command, it will ..

  • Send scan results to slack
  • Only Report CVEs that CVSS score is over 7

Example: Put results in S3 bucket

To put results in S3 bucket, configure following settings in AWS before reporting.

$ vuls report \
      -cvedb-path=$PWD/cve.sqlite3 \
      -to-s3 \
      -format-json \

      -aws-profile=default

With this sample command, it will ..

  • Put scan result(JSON) in S3 bucket. The bucket name is "vuls" in ap-northeast-1 and profile is "default"

Example: Put results in Azure Blob storage

To put results in Azure Blob Storage, configure following settings in Azure before reporting.

  • Create a Azure Blob container
$ vuls scan \
      -cvedb-path=$PWD/cve.sqlite3 \
      -report-azure-blob \
      -azure-container=vuls \
      -azure-account=test \

With this sample command, it will ..

  • Put scan result(JSON) in Azure Blob Storage. The container name is "vuls", storage account is "test" and accesskey is "access-key-string"

account and access key can be defined in environment variables.

$ export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=test
$ export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=access-key-string
$ vuls scan \
      -cvedb-path=$PWD/cve.sqlite3 \
      -report-azure-blob \
      -azure-container=vuls

Example: IgnoreCves

Define ignoreCves in config if you don't want to report(Slack, EMail, Text...) specific CVE IDs. But these ignoreCves will be output to JSON file like below.

  • config.toml
[default]
ignoreCves = ["CVE-2016-6313"]

[servers.bsd]
host     = "192.168.11.11"
user     = "kanbe"
ignoreCves = ["CVE-2016-6314"]
  • bsd.json
[
  {
    "ServerName": "bsd",
    "Family": "FreeBSD",
    "Release": "10.3-RELEASE",
    "IgnoredCves" : [
      "CveDetail" : {
        "CVE-2016-6313",
        ...
      },
      "CveDetail" : {
        "CVE-2016-6314",
        ...
      }
    ]
  }
]

Example: Add optional key-value pairs to JSON

Optional key-value can be outputted to JSON.
The key-value in the default section will be overwritten by servers section's key-value.
For instance, you can use this field for Azure ResourceGroup name, Azure VM Name and so on.

  • config.toml
[default]
optional = [
	["key1", "default_value"],
	["key3", "val3"],
]

[servers.bsd]
host     = "192.168.11.11"
user     = "kanbe"
optional = [
	["key1", "val1"],
	["key2", "val2"],
]
  • bsd.json
[
  {
    "ServerName": "bsd",
    "Family": "FreeBSD",
    "Release": "10.3-RELEASE",
    .... snip ...
    "Optional": [
      [  "key1", "val1" ],
      [  "key2", "val2" ],
      [  "key3", "val3" ]
    ]
  }
]

Example: Use MySQL as a DB storage back-end

$ vuls scan \
      -cvedb-type=mysql \
      -cvedb-url="user:pass@tcp(localhost:3306)/dbname?parseTime=true"

Usage: Scan vulnerabilites of non-OS packages

It is possible to detect vulnerabilities in non-OS packages, such as something you compiled by yourself, language libraries and frameworks, that have been registered in the CPE.

  • How to search CPE name by software name

  • Configuration
    To detect the vulnerability of Ruby on Rails v4.2.1, cpeNames needs to be set in the servers section.

    [servers]
    
    [servers.172-31-4-82]
    host         = "172.31.4.82"
    user        = "ec2-user"
    keyPath     = "/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa"
    cpeNames = [
      "cpe:/a:rubyonrails:ruby_on_rails:4.2.1",
    ]
    

Usage: Integrate with OWASP Dependency Check to Automatic update when the libraries are updated (Experimental)

OWASP Dependency check is a utility that identifies project dependencies and checks if there are any known, publicly disclosed, vulnerabilities.

Benefit of integrating Vuls And OWASP Dependency Check is below.

  • Automatic Update of Vuls config when the libraries are updated.
  • Reporting by Email or Slack by using Vuls.
  • Reporting in Japanese
    • OWASP Dependency Check supports only English

How to integrate Vuls with OWASP Dependency Check

  • Execute OWASP Dependency Check with --format=XML option.

  • Define the xml file path of dependency check in config.toml.

    [servers]
    
    [servers.172-31-4-82]
    host         = "172.31.4.82"
    user        = "ec2-user"
    keyPath     = "/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa"
    dependencyCheckXMLPath = "/tmp/dependency-check-report.xml"
