The Oracle Linux operating system must audit all uses of the sudoers file and all files in the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory.

| Description | ||||
| Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. At a minimum, the organization must audit the full-text recording of privileged access commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000037-GPOS-00015, SRG-OS-000042-GPOS-00020, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000462-GPOS-00206, SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00215 | ||||

Details
Check Text (C-221810r958412_chk)
Verify the operating system generates audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access the "/etc/sudoers" file and files in the "/etc/sudoers.d/" directory.
Check for modification of the following files being audited by performing the following commands to check the file system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules":
# grep -i "/etc/sudoers" /etc/audit/audit.rules
-w /etc/sudoers -p wa -k privileged-actions
# grep -i "/etc/sudoers.d/" /etc/audit/audit.rules
-w /etc/sudoers.d/ -p wa -k privileged-actions
If the commands do not return output that match the examples, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-23514r419503_fix)
Configure the operating system to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access the "/etc/sudoers" file and files in the "/etc/sudoers.d/" directory.
Add or update the following rule in "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":
-w /etc/sudoers -p wa -k privileged-actions
-w /etc/sudoers.d/ -p wa -k privileged-actions
The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
