| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| To determine if the system is configured to audit calls to the umount2 system call, run the following command: $ sudo auditctl -l | grep umount2 -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -F key=privileged-umount -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -F key=privileged-umount If no line is returned, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "umount2" system call by adding or updating the following rules in a file in "/etc/audit/rules.d". -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-umount -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S umount2 -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-umount To load the rules to the kernel immediately, use the following command: $ sudo augenrules --load |
