Make the auditd Configuration Immutable
Medium Severity
If the
auditd
daemon is configured to use the
augenrules
program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the following line to a file with suffix
.rules
in the directory
/etc/audit/rules.d
in order to make the auditd configuration immutable:
-e 2
If the
auditd
daemon is configured to use the
auditctl
utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the following line to
/etc/audit/audit.rules
file in order to make the auditd configuration immutable:
-e 2
With this setting, a reboot will be required to change any audit rules.
