SLES-12-020310 - The SUSE operating system must generate audit records for all uses of the ssh-agent command.

Information

Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information.

At a minimum, the organization must audit the full-text recording of privileged commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000037-GPOS-00015, SRG-OS-000062-GPOS-00031, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000462-GPOS-00206, SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00215

Solution

Configure the SUSE operating system to generate an audit record for all uses the 'ssh-agent' command.

Add or update the following rules in the '/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules' file:

-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-ssh-agent

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

# sudo systemctl restart auditd.service
