Puppet Class: cis_security_hardening::rules::auditd_log_perms

Defined in:
manifests/rules/auditd_log_perms.pp

Summary

Ensure audit log files are not read or write-accessible by unauthorized users

Overview

The operating system must be configured so that audit log files are not read or write- accessible by unauthorized users.

The operating system must be configured to permit only authorized users ownership of the audit log files.

The operating system must permit only authorized groups ownership of the audit log files.

Rationale: Unauthorized disclosure of audit records can reveal system and configuration data to attackers, thus compromising its confidentiality.

Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, audit reports) needed to successfully audit operating system activity.
