Description
Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, audit reports) needed to successfully audit operating system activity.
Unauthorized disclosure of audit records can reveal system and configuration data to attackers, thus compromising its confidentiality.
# (audit_log_file=$(grep "^log_file" /etc/audit/auditd.conf|sed s/^[^\/]*//) && if [ -f "${audit_log_file}" ] ; then printf "Log(s) found in "${audit_log_file%/*}":\n"; stat -c "%n permissions are %a" ${audit_log_file%}*; else printf "audit log file(s) not found\n"; fi)
If the permissions on any audit log file are more permissive than "0600", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-60111r887152_fix)
At the command line, run the following command:
# chmod 0600 <audit log file>
Replace <audit log file> with the log files more permissive than 0600.
