Information

Amazon Linux 2023 must audit all uses of the init command.

GROUP ID: V-274098
RULE ID: SV-274098r1120282

Misuse of the init command may cause availability issues for the system.

Solution

Configure Amazon Linux 2023 so that the audit system generates an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful uses of the "init" command by adding or updating the following rule in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file:

-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/init -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-init

To load the rules to the kernel immediately, use the following command:

$ sudo augenrules --load
