Description

All audit configuration files must be owned by group root.

chown :root /etc/audit/audit*.{rules,conf} /etc/audit/rules.d/*

Rationale

Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audits may degrade the system’s performance by overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Remediation

Shell script

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

#!/bin/bash

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}
' 'kernel' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed && dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}\n' 'auditd' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed; then

find -L /etc/audit/ -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -group 0 -regextype posix-extended -regex '^.*audit(\.rules|d\.conf)$' -exec chgrp -L 0 {} \;

find -L /etc/audit/rules.d/ -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -group 0 -regextype posix-extended -regex '^.*\.rules$' -exec chgrp -L 0 {} \;

else
    >&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi

Ansible playbook

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