Details

Check Text ( C-27568r1_chk )
Check the permissions of audit tool executables.
# ls -l /usr/sbin/auditd /usr/sbin/audit /usr/sbin/bsmrecord /usr/sbin/auditreduce /usr/sbin/praudit /usr/sbin/auditconfig
If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-23750r1_fix)
Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# getfacl [audit file]
Remove each ACE returned.
# setfacl -d [ACE] [audit file]
