Information

OL 9 must be configured so that successful/unsuccessful uses of the reboot command generate an audit record.

GROUP ID: V-271575
RULE ID: SV-271575r1092568

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

Solution

Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful uses of the reboot command by adding or updating the following rule in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file:

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

The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Restart auditd:

$ sudo service auditd restart
