Enable support for BUG()
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing the size of your kernel
image and potentially quietly ignoring numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider
disabling this option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.
The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at /boot/config-*.
To check the configuration value for CONFIG_BUG, run the following command:
grep CONFIG_BUG /boot/config-*
For each kernel installed, a line with value "y" should be returned.
warning alert: Warning
There is no remediation for this besides re-compiling the kernel with the appropriate value for the config.
Rationale
Not setting this variable may hide a number of critical errors.
