Information

AlmaLinux OS 9 audit system must protect logon UIDs from unauthorized change.

GROUP ID: V-269544
RULE ID: SV-269544r1050427

If modification of login user identifiers (UIDs) is not prevented, they can be changed by nonprivileged users and make auditing complicated or impossible.

Solution

Configure AlmaLinux OS 9 auditing to prevent modification of login UIDs once they are set by adding the following line to /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules:

--loginuid-immutable
