Ensure dhcp server services are not in use

MediumLevel 1Automatedlinux

Description

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service that allows machines to be dynamically assigned IP addresses. There are two versions of the DHCP protocol DHCPv4 and DHCPv6. At startup the server may be started for one or the other via the -4 or -6 arguments.

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

shell
alt0() { command -v rpm >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step1: rpm not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'rpm -q kea' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- 'package kea is not installed' || { echo step1: missing 'package kea is not installed'; return 1; }; }; alt1() { o=$(bash -c 'systemctl show kea-dhcp-ddns.service kea-dhcp4.service kea-dhcp6.service -p UnitFileState,ActiveState | grep -Pi '"'"'=(enabled|active)'"'"'' 2>/dev/null); [ -z "$o" ] || { echo "step1: $o" | head -c 300; return 1; }; }; if alt0 || alt1; then echo compliant; fi
Expected output
compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Run the following commands to stop kea-dhcp-ddns.service, kea-dhcp4.service, and kea-dhcp6.service and remove the kea package: # systemctl stop kea-dhcp-ddns.service kea-dhcp4.service kea-dhcp6.service # dnf remove kea - OR - - IF - the kea package is required as a dependency: Run the following commands to stop and mask kea-dhcp-ddns.service, kea- dhcp4.service, and kea-dhcp6.service: # systemctl stop kea-dhcp-ddns.service kea-dhcp4.service kea-dhcp6.service # systemctl mask kea-dhcp-ddns.service kea-dhcp4.service kea-dhcp6.service
