1.173 RHEL-10-500035

Information

RHEL 10 must take appropriate action when a critical audit processing failure occurs.

GROUP ID: V-281103RULE ID: SV-281103r1166261

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and system operation may be adversely affected.

Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to shut down when auditing failures occur.

Add the following line to the bottom of the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file:

-f 2
