Checkmk Werk 13194: Add several security HTTP headers

by Maximilian Wirtz

ID: 13194 Title: Add several security HTTP headers Component: Setup Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 2.1.0i1 This werk adds the following security headers: LI:<tt>X-Frame-Options: sameorigin</tt> Only websites hosted on the same domain are allowed to include CMK as an frame. The Content-Security-Policy already constrains this. LI:<tt>X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block</tt> Enables the browser buitin XSS protection. LI:<tt>X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: none</tt> We do not ship cross-domain policies so we disable them with this header. LI:<tt>Referrer-Policy: origin-when-cross-origin</tt> Only send the origin as Referer to other sites. You can overwrite these settings in the Apache config if you need to.

Checkmk Werk 13228: Checkmk agent with systemd creates dedicated system user

by Moritz Kiemer

ID: 13228 Title: Checkmk agent with systemd creates dedicated system user Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 2.1.0i1 The installation of a systemd based agent package now creates a system user named cmk-agent. Failing to create (or find) such a user will cause the installation to fail. This user will allow for upcoming architectural changes. In particular it will be running helper processes for new agent-to-site communication modes. Also, the created user will be the only user allowed to read the agent output locally. The users home directory will be /etc/check-mk-agent/cmk-agent, it will have neither a login password nor a login shell. Note that the user is not removed if the package is uninstalled, as you may still have files belonging to that user, and we do not want the UID to be reassigned to a different user by chance.

Checkmk Werk 13129: set correct access rights on Linux TGZ data structure

by Andreas Umbreit

ID: 13129 Title: set correct access rights on Linux TGZ data structure Component: agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.1.0i1 This is a regression since Werk #10429. With Werk #10429, it was prevented that the Linux TGZ package overwrites access rights of existing directories. However, this fix only works for 1.6 releases, while unfortunately it does not take effect in Checkmk 2.0 releases. Therefore the desired behavior is supplied with this Werk.

Checkmk Werk 13089: Fixed logging with microsecond timestamps

by Sven Panne

ID: 13089 Title: Fixed logging with microsecond timestamps Component: cmc Level: 3 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.1.0i1 Checkmk 1.6.0 introduced a small regression where log lines in cmc.log were missing a space when logging with microseconds was enabled. Lines like 2021-10-13 10:24:51696.318 [5] [core 12345] Foo bar happened. should really read: 2021-10-13 10:24:51 696.318 [5] [core 12345] Foo bar happened. This has been fixed.
