| medium | V-261422 | SRG-OS-000342-GPOS-00133 | SLEM-05-653070 | SV-261422r996674_rule | 2026-02-10 | 1 |
Description
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.
Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.
ℹ️ Check
Verify "audispd" offloads audit records onto a different system or media from SLEM 5 being audited with the following command:
> sudo grep remote_server /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf
remote_server = 240.9.19.81
If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, or is commented out, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure SLEM 5 to offload audit records onto a different system or media.
Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file:
remote_server = <ip_address>
