Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>By generating audit logs for the loading and unloading of dynamic kernel modules, OpenShift enables administrators and security teams to track and investigate any unauthorized or suspicious changes to the kernel modules. These records serve as a vital source of information for detecting and responding to potential security breaches or unauthorized module manipulations. Audit records play a crucial role in forensic analysis and investigation. In the event of a security incident or suspected compromise, audit logs for dynamic kernel module loading and unloading provide valuable information for understanding the sequence of events and identifying any unauthorized or malicious module manipulations. Audit records for module loading and unloading can be used for system performance analysis and troubleshooting. By reviewing these records, administrators can identify any problematic or misbehaving modules that may affect system performance or stability. This helps in diagnosing and resolving issues related to kernel modules more effectively.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
