(in version v1 r2)
Title
The auditing tool, praudit, must be the one provided by Apple, Inc. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. It is essential security personnel know what is being done, what was attempted to be done, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom in order to compile an accurate risk assessment. Cryptographic mechanisms must be used to protect the integrity of the audit tools used for audit reduction and reporting. The auditing tool, praudit, should be the one provided by Apple, Inc.
Check Content
Run the following command to ensure the audit tool, praudit, has the correct signed hash value: sudo codesign -dvvv /usr/sbin/praudit 2>&1 | grep CDHash | sed 's/CDHash=//' The result should be "7972f0ead62fd6610d4453f842f9e22b5dc14732". If it differs, this is a finding.
Fix Text
If the check fails, you will need to obtain the correct files from the original 10.8 installation media.
