DDSSEC11 — Wrong Facility Value for Logging Plugin

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSSEC11-48
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    According to the DDS Security specification (9.6 Builtin Logging Plugin), the facility value for the BuiltinLoggingType must be 0x10 (16 in decimal):

    octet facility; // Set to 0x10. Indicates sec/auth msgs
LoggingLevel severity;

    However, according to the Syslog RFC 6.2.1. PRI (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424):

       Facility and Severity values are not normative but often used.  They
   are described in the following tables for purely informational
   purposes.  Facility values MUST be in the range of 0 to 23 inclusive.
[...]
             10             security/authorization messages
[...]
             16             local use 0  (local0)

    It defines 10 (0x0a) as the value for security/auth messages.
