The Ubuntu operating system must generate records for successful/unsuccessful uses of delete_module syscall and when unloading dynamic kernel modules.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter). Satisfies: SRG-OS-000064-GPOS-00033, SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00216
