Information

OL 8 must not have the "tuned" package installed if not required for operational support.

GROUP ID: V-248906RULE ID: SV-248906r991589

"Tuned" is a daemon that uses "udev" to monitor connected devices and statically and dynamically tunes system settings according to a selected profile. Disabling the "tuned" package protects the system against exploitation of any flaws in its implementation.

Solution

Configure OL 8 to disable non-essential capabilities by removing the "tuned" package from the system with the following command:

$ sudo yum remove tuned
