Discussion
To prevent unauthorized access or manipulation of system audit logs, the tools for manipulating those logs must be protected.
Check Content
Check the mode of audit tool executables. # ls -l /usr/sbin/auditd /usr/sbin/audit /usr/sbin/bsmrecord /usr/sbin/auditreduce /usr/sbin/praudit /usr/sbin/auditconfig If any listed file has a mode more permissive than 0750, this is a finding.
