The operating system must ensure unauthorized, security-relevant configuration changes detected are tracked.

Without auditing, malicious activity cannot be detected.

The Audit Configuration profile is required.

This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone currently being secured.

# zonename

If the command output is "global", this check applies.

Determine the OS version currently being secured. # uname -v

For Solaris 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3: # pfexec auditconfig -getflags | grep active | cut -f2 -d=

If "as" audit flag is not included in the output, this is a finding.

For Solaris 11.4 or newer: # pfexec auditconfig -t -getflags | cut -f2 -d=

If "cusa,fm,fd,-fa,-ps,-ex" audit flags are not included in the output, this is a finding.

Determine if auditing policy is set to collect command line arguments.

# pfexec auditconfig -getpolicy | grep active | grep argv

If the active audit policies line does not appear, this is a finding.

The Audit Configuration profile is required. All audit flags must be enabled in a single command.

This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone currently being secured.

# zonename

If the command output is "global ", this action applies.

For Solaris 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3: # pfexec auditconfig -setflags cusa,-ps,fd,-fa,fm

For Solaris 11.4 or newer: # pfexec auditconfig -setflags cusa,-fa,-ex,-ps,fd,fm

Enable the audit policy to collect command line arguments.

# pfexec auditconfig -setpolicy +argv
