Log on to the HYCU VM console. To verify audit logs size is restricted, check for the value of the "max_log_file_action" option in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" with the following command: sudo grep max_log_file_action /etc/audit/auditd.conf If the "max_log_file_action" value is not set to "ROTATION", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50225r768180_fix)
Configure the operating system to enforce log rotation and restrict log file size to an organization-defined value by editing "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" files using the following command: sudo vi /etc/audit/auditd.conf Add or modify the following lines to have the required value: max_log_file_action = ROTATION max_log_file = 6
