Vulnerability discussion

The minimal set of auditing requirements necessary to collect useful forensics data and provide user help when violations are detected must be configured.

Check content

Check the /etc/rc.config.d/auditing file AUDOMON_ARGS settings: # cat /etc/rc.config.d/auditing | tr “\011” “ “ | tr -s “ “ | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' grep -v “#” The above command should return a single line with the following information: AUDOMON_ARGS=“-p 20, -t 1, -w 90” If “p”, “t”, or “w” flags are not set to “20”, “1”, and “90”, respectively, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/auditing file and insert the following line: AUDOMON_ARGS=“-p 20, -t 1, -w 90” Restart auditing: # /sbin/init.d/auditing stop # /sbin/init.d/auditing start

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.
