SV-86687r5_rule The system must use a separate file system for the system audit data path.

Vulnerability discussion

The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.

Check content

Determine if the "/var/log/audit" path is a separate file system. # grep /var/log/audit /etc/fstab If no result is returned, "/var/log/audit" is not on a separate file system, and this is a finding.

Fix text

Migrate the system audit data path onto a separate file system.

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.
