Description
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter). The "umount" command is used to unmount a filesystem.

Check Text ( C-56498r824805_chk )
Verify that an audit event is generated for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "umount" command by performing the following command to check the file system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules": $ sudo grep -w /usr/bin/umount /etc/audit/audit.rules -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/umount -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-56448r824806_fix)
Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "umount" command by adding or updating the following rules in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/umount -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
