Information

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

GROUP ID: V-274100
RULE ID: SV-274100r1120288

Misuse of the shutdown 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 "shutdown" command by adding or updating the following rule in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file:

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

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

$ sudo augenrules --load
