UBTU-18-010245 - The Ubuntu operating system must generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect /etc/group.

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-000476-GPOS-00221, SRG-OS-000239-GPOS-00089, SRG-OS-000240-GPOS-00090, SRG-OS-000241-GPOS-00091, SRG-OS-000303-GPOS-00120, SRG-OS-000458-GPOS-00203, SRG-OS-000463-GPOS-00207

Solution

Configure the Ubuntu operating system to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect /etc/group.

Add or update the following rule to "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules":

-w /etc/group -p wa -k usergroup_modification

Note:
The "root" account must be used to view/edit any files in the /etc/audit/rules.d/ directory.
