Title

Audispd must off-load audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system being audited. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

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

Check Content

Verify "audispd" off-loads audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system being audited. Check if "audispd" is configured to off-load audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system by running the following command: > sudo grep remote_server /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf remote_server = 192.168.1.101 If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, or is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the SUSE operating system "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file to off-load audit records onto a different system or media by adding or editing the following line with the correct IP address: remote_server = [IP ADDRESS]
