Description
RHEL 10 installation media ships with an optional file integrity tool called Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE). AIDE is highly configurable at install time. This requirement assumes the "aide.conf" file is under the "/etc" directory. Extended attributes in file systems are used to contain arbitrary data and file metadata with security implications.

Verify RHEL 10 AIDE is configured to verify extended attributes with the following command: $ sudo grep -E '^[^#]*xattrs' /etc/aide.conf FIPSR = p+i+n+u+g+s+m+growing+acl+selinux+xattrs+sha512 /usr/sbin/auditctl p+i+n+u+g+s+b+acl+xattrs+sha512 /usr/sbin/auditd p+i+n+u+g+s+b+acl+xattrs+sha512 /usr/sbin/ausearch p+i+n+u+g+s+b+acl+xattrs+sha512 /usr/sbin/aureport p+i+n+u+g+s+b+acl+xattrs+sha512 /usr/sbin/augenrules p+i+n+u+g+s+b+acl+xattrs+sha512 DIR = p+i+n+u+g+acl+selinux+xattrs Open the file and verify that no additional uncommented file and directory selection lines are missing the "xattrs" rule. If the "xattrs" rule is not being used on all uncommented selection lines in the "/etc/aide.conf" file, or extended attributes are not being checked by another file integrity tool, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-85448r1165300_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 so that the file integrity tool checks file and directory extended attributes. If AIDE is installed, ensure the "xattrs" rule is present on all uncommented file and directory selection lists.
