Description
If log_group in /etc/audit/auditd.conf is set to a group other than the root
group account, change the mode of the audit log files with the following command:
$ sudo chmod 0750 /var/log/audit
Otherwise, change the mode of the audit log files with the following command:
$ sudo chmod 0700 /var/log/audit
Rationale
If users can write to audit logs, audit trails can be modified or destroyed.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
