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 the audit system off-loads audit records if the SUSE operating system storage volume becomes full. Check that the records are properly off-loaded to a remote server with the following command: # sudo grep -i "disk_full_action" /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf disk_full_action = syslog If "disk_full_action" is not set to "syslog", "single", or "halt" or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the SUSE operating system to take the appropriate action if the audit storage is full. Add, edit, or uncomment the "disk_full_action" option in "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf". Set it to "syslog", "single" or "halt" as in the example below: disk_full_action = syslog

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.
