Title
The SUSE operating system must generate audit records for all uses of the umount command. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. At a minimum, the organization must audit the full-text recording of privileged commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise.

Check Content
Verify the SUSE operating system generates an audit record for all uses of the "umount" command. Check that the following command call is being audited by performing the following command on the system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules": # sudo grep -iw umount /etc/audit/audit.rules -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S umount -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-umount -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-umount -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-umount If both the "b32" and "b64" audit rules are not defined for the "umount" syscall, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the SUSE operating system to generate an audit record for all uses the "umount" command. Add or update the following rules to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules": -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S umount -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-umount -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-umount -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-umount The audit daemon must be restarted for any changes to take effect. # sudo systemctl restart auditd.service
