Description
Protecting audit information includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operations on audit information.
ℹ️ Check
At the command line, run the following command:
# stat -c "%n is owned by %U and group owned by %G" /etc/audit/auditd.conf
If "auditd.conf" is not owned by root and group owned by root, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
At the command line, run the following command:
# chown root:root /etc/audit/auditd.conf
