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 0640 audit_file
Otherwise, change the mode of the audit log files with the following command:
$ sudo chmod 0600 audit_file
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
