The open_by_handle_at syscall can be used to create new files
when O_CREAT flag is specified.
The following audit rules will assure that successful attempts to create a
file via open_by_handle_at syscall are collected.
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the augenrules
program to read audit rules during daemon startup (the default), add the
rules below to a file with suffix .rules in the directory
/etc/audit/rules.d.
If the auditd daemon is configured to use the auditctl
utility to read audit rules during daemon startup, add the rules below to
/etc/audit/audit.rules file.
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&0100 -F success=1 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=successful-create
If the system is 64 bit then also add the following lines:
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open_by_handle_at -F a2&0100 -F success=1 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=successful-create
