type: "manual"
remediation: |
To remediate this issue, the system administrator will have to execute a find command to
locate all the privileged programs and then add an audit line for each one of them.
The audit parameters associated with this are as follows:
-F path=" $1 " - will populate each file name found through the find command and
processed by awk. -F perm=x - will write an audit record if the file is executed.
-F auid>=500 - will write a record if the user executing the command is not a privileged user.
-F auid!= 4294967295 - will ignore Daemon events
All audit records should be tagged with the identifier "privileged".
Run the following command replacing with a list of partitions where programs can be
executed from on your system:
# find <partition> -xdev \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -type f | awk
'{print \
"-a always,exit -F path=" $1 " -F perm=x -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 \
-k privileged" }'
Edit or create a file in the /etc/audit/rules.d/ directory ending in .rules
Example: vi /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules
And add all resulting lines to the file.
