The systemd Ctrl-Alt-Delete burst key sequence in AlmaLinux OS 9 must be disabled.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
A locally logged-on user who presses Ctrl-Alt-Delete in quick succession when at the console can reboot the system. If accidentally pressed, as could happen in the case of a mixed OS environment, this can create the risk of short-term loss of availability of systems due to unintentional reboot. In a graphical user environment, risk of unintentional reboot from the Ctrl-Alt-Delete sequence is reduced because the user will be prompted before any action is taken.
