Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>It is critical when a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required; it detects and takes action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include: software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Applications are required to be capable of either directly performing or calling system-level functionality performing defined actions upon detection of an application audit log processing failure. The Security Requirements Guide says, "A failure of database auditing will result in either the database continuing to function without auditing or in a complete halt to database operations. The database must be capable of taking organization-defined actions to avoid either a complete halt to processing or processing transactions in an unaudited manner." This STIG requirement mandates the implementation of a method to mitigate Oracle's inability to automatically reuse audit trail space on a first-in, first-out basis.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
