The Photon operating system audit files and directories must have correct permissions.

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.

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.

At the command line, run the following command:

# chown root:root /etc/audit/auditd.conf
