Executive Summary
McAfee® Database Security 4.4 (hereafter referred to as DB Sec 4.4), from McAfee, Inc., is
the Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2 augmented
evaluation.
DB Sec 4.4 is a software solution that monitors a Database Management System (DBMS)
and protects it from both internal and external threats. The TOE provides full visibility into
DBMS user and application activity by way of analysis of SQL statements and queries
interacting with the DBMS. Analysis of DBMS transactions is determined by a monitoring
policy consisting of a set of rules (predefined and/or custom) which are configured to issue
alerts and/or terminate suspicious activities. The TOE can be used in support of simple,
single DBMS installations as well as complex, multi-server, multi-DBMS installations.
CGI IT security evaluation and test facility is the CCEF that conducted the evaluation. This
evaluation was completed on 23 July 2013 and was carried out in accordance with the rules
of the Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS).
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions
made during the evaluation, the intended environment for DB Sec 4.4, the security
requirements, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) to which it is asserted
that the product satisfies its security requirements. Consumers are advised to verify that their
operating environment is consistent with that specified in the security target, and to give due
consideration to the comments, observations and recommendations in this certification
report.
The results documented in the Evaluation Technical Report (ETR)1
for this product provide
sufficient evidence that it meets the EAL 2 augmented assurance requirements for the
evaluated security functionality. The evaluation was conducted using the Common

10 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of DB Sec 4.4, including
the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the DB Sec 4.4 functional specification and design
documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately describes the TOE
security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the TSF implements the
security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the DB Sec 4.4 security
architectural description and determined that the initialization process is secure, that the
security functions are protected against tamper and bypass, and that security domains are
maintained. The evaluators also independently verified that the correspondence mappings
between the design documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the DB Sec 4.4 preparative user guidance
and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously
describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration and how to use
and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and
CCS Certification Report McAfee, Inc.

operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to
result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the DB Sec 4.4 configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the DB Sec 4.4
configuration items were clearly marked. The developer’s configuration management system
was observed during a site visit, and it was found to be mature and well-developed.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of DB Sec 4.4 during distribution to the
consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the DB Sec
4.4. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence generated by adherence to
the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to track and
correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to consumers of
the product.
Vulnerability assessment: The evaluators conducted an independent vulnerability analysis
of DB Sec 4.4. Additionally, the evaluators conducted a search of public domain
vulnerability databases to identify DB Sec 4.4 potential vulnerabilities. The evaluators
identified potential vulnerabilities for testing applicable to DB Sec 4.4 in its operational
environment.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
11 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
11.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR2
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.

11.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of CGI IT security evaluation and test facility test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Sensor detects Malicious code: The objective of this test goal is to ensure the Sensor will
detect malicious SQL code and react as per SFRs in ST ;
c. Detect malicious activity through statistical analysis: The objective of this test goal is to
verify that the management system along with sensor detects malicious activity through
statistical analysis of data; and
d. Capture Database vulnerability during a VA (Vulnerability Assessment) scan: The
objective of this test goal is to confirm that a VA scan will capture a vulnerability defined
for the VA test.
11.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Attempt to bypass sensor capture with large malicious commands: The objective of this
test goal is to verify that the sensor is capable of detecting malicious commands even
when large queries in rapid succession are run;
b. Attempt to bypass Disconnect and Quarantine rules: The objective of this test goal is to
demonstrate that a remote DBMS user cannot bypass the TOE rules;
c. Web Based User Interface: The objective of this test goal is to analyze the web based
TSFI (TOE Security Functionality Interface) for vulnerabilities; and
d. Malformed and Obfuscated Data: The objective of this test goal is to gain assurance that
the sensors can deal with malformed and obfuscated data without breaking down.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.

testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and
observed results are documented in a separate Test Results document.
11.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that DB Sec 4.4 behaves as specified in its ST and functional specification.
12 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for an EAL 2 + level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
13 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
It is strongly recommended that the end customer obtain a copy of the “Operational User
Guidance and Preparative Procedures Supplement” document to understand the evaluation
configuration so that the TOE shall be configured in an evaluated and secure way.
