Vulnerability 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 cat /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf | grep remote_server remote_server = 192.168.1.101 If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, 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]

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
