SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro (SLEM) 5 STIG: SLEM-05-653070 (in version v1 r1)

Title

Audispd must offload audit records onto a different system or media from SLEM 5 being audited. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Check Content

Verify "audispd" offloads audit records onto a different system or media from SLEM 5 being audited with the following command: > sudo grep remote_server /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf remote_server = 240.9.19.81 If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, or is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure SLEM 5 to offload audit records onto a different system or media. Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file: remote_server = <ip_address>
