Description

The Ubuntu 20.04 operating system audit tools must have the proper ownership configured to protected against unauthorized access.

Verify it by running the following command:

$ stat -c "%n %G" /sbin/auditctl /sbin/aureport /sbin/ausearch /sbin/autrace /sbin/auditd /sbin/audispd /sbin/augenrules

/sbin/auditctl root
/sbin/aureport root
/sbin/ausearch root
/sbin/autrace root
/sbin/auditd root
/sbin/audispd root
/sbin/augenrules root

Audit tools needed to successfully view and manipulate audit information system activity and records. Audit tools include custom queries and report generators

Rationale

Protecting audit information also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operation on audit information.

Operating systems providing tools to interface with audit information will leverage user permissions and roles identifying the user accessing the tools and the corresponding rights the user enjoys to make access decisions regarding the access to audit tools.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

chgrp -L 0 /sbin/auditctl
chgrp -L 0 /sbin/aureport
chgrp -L 0 /sbin/ausearch
chgrp -L 0 /sbin/autrace
chgrp -L 0 /sbin/auditd
chgrp -L 0 /sbin/audispd
chgrp -L 0 /sbin/augenrules

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
