Information

Process core dumps must be disabled unless needed.

GROUP ID: V-216445
RULE ID: SV-216445r959010

Process core dumps contain the memory in use by the process when it crashed. Process core dump files can be of significant size and their use can result in file systems filling to capacity, which may result in denial of service. Process core dumps can be useful for software debugging.

Solution

The Maintenance and Repair profile is required.

Change the process core dump configuration to disable core dumps globally and on a per process basis.

# coreadm -d global
# coreadm -d process
# coreadm -d global-setid
# coreadm -d proc-setid
# coreadm -e log
