Files containing sensitive informations should be protected by restrictive
permissions. Most of the time, there is no need that these files need to bei
read by any non-root user.
Check that "permissions.local" file contains the correct permissions rules with the following command:
# grep -i audit /etc/permissions.local
/var/log/audit/ root:root 600
/var/log/audit/audit.log root:root 600
/etc/audit/audit.rules root:root 640
/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules root:root 640
