Disable the entropyd_use_audio SELinux Boolean

An XCCDF Rule

Description

By default, the SELinux boolean entropyd_use_audio is enabled. This setting should be disabled as it uses audit input to generate entropy. To disable the entropyd_use_audio SELinux boolean, run the following command:

$ sudo setsebool -P entropyd_use_audio off
