SLES-12-020630 - Successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify categories of information (e.g., classification levels) must generate audit records.
Information
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).
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 audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify categories of information (e.g., classification levels) occur.Add or update the following rules in the '/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules' file:
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chcon -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k prim_mod
The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
# sudo systemctl restart auditd.service
