Information

The macOS system must configure audit log files to not contain access control lists (ACLs).

GROUP ID: V-277040
RULE ID: SV-277040r1148572

The audit log files must not contain ACLs.

This rule ensures that audit information and audit files are configured to be readable and writable only by system administrators, thereby preventing unauthorized access, modification, and deletion of files.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000057-GPOS-00027, SRG-OS-000058-GPOS-00028, SRG-OS-000059-GPOS-00029, SRG-OS-000256-GPOS-00097, SRG-OS-000257-GPOS-00098, SRG-OS-000258-GPOS-00099

Solution

Configure the macOS system without ACLs applied to log files with the following command:

/bin/chmod -RN /var/audit
