Description
Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. At a minimum, the organization must audit the full-text recording of privileged commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000042-GPOS-00020, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00215

Check Text ( C-75383r2_chk )
Verify that an audit event is generated for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "umount" command. Check for the following system call being audited by performing the following command to check the file system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules": # sudo grep umount /etc/audit/audit.rules -a always,exit -F path=/bin/umount -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-mount If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-82325r2_fix)
Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "umount" command. Add or update the following rules in the "/etc/audit/audit.rules" file: -a always,exit -F path=/bin/umount -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-mount The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect. To restart the audit daemon, run the following command: # sudo systemctl restart auditd.service
