Information

The operating system must generate audit records for successful/unsuccessful attempts to use modprobe command.

GROUP ID: V-260614
RULE ID: SV-260614r991586

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Solution

Configure the operating system to audit the execution of the module management program "modprobe".

Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules" file:

-w /sbin/modprobe -p x -k modules

To reload the rules file, issue the following command:

$ sudo augenrules --load

Note: The "-k " at the end of the line gives the rule a unique meaning to help during an audit investigation. The does not need to match the example above.
