Title
System audit tool executables must not have extended ACLs. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
To prevent unauthorized access or manipulation of system audit logs, the tools for manipulating those logs must be protected.
Check Content
Check the permissions 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 the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the file. # getfacl [audit file] Remove each ACE returned. # setfacl -d [ACE] [audit file]
