1.163 RHEL-10-400410

Information

RHEL 10 must mount "/var/log/audit" with the "nosuid" option.

GROUP ID: V-281093
RULE ID: SV-281093r1165634

The "nosuid" mount option causes the system to not execute "setuid" and "setgid" files with owner privileges. This option must be used for mounting any file system not containing approved "setuid" and "setguid" files. Executing files from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for nonprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to mount "/var/log/audit" with the "nosuid" option.

Modify "/etc/fstab" to use the "nosuid" option on the "/var/log/audit" directory.
