The SUSE operating system must generate audit records for all uses of the ssh-keysign command.

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.

Check Text ( C-76895r2_chk )
Verify the SUSE operating system generates an audit record for all uses of the "ssh-keysign" command.

Check that the following command call is being audited by performing the following command on the system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules":

# sudo grep -i ssh-keysign /etc/audit/audit.rules

-a always,exit -F arch=32 path=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-keysign -F perm=x -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-ssh-keysign
-a always,exit -F arch=64 path=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-keysign -F perm=x -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-ssh-keysign

If the command does not return any output, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-83981r2_fix)
Configure the SUSE operating system to generate an audit record for all uses the "ssh-keysign" command.

Add or update the following rule to "/etc/audit/audit.rules":

-a always,exit -F arch=32 path=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-keysign -F perm=x -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-ssh-keysign
-a always,exit -F arch=64 path=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-keysign -F perm=x -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-ssh-keysign

The audit daemon must be restarted for any changes to take effect.
