Description
Without generating audit records specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000037-GPOS-00015, SRG-OS-000042-GPOS-00020, SRG-OS-000062-GPOS-00031, SRG-OS-000392-GPOS-00172, SRG-OS-000462-GPOS-00206, SRG-OS-000471-GPOS-00215, SRG-OS-000473-GPOS-00218, SRG-OS-000470-GPOS-00214

Who does this work

6 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-281162r1166438_chk)

Verify RHEL 10 generates audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/lastlog" with the following command: $ sudo auditctl -l | grep /var/log/lastlog -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -F path=/var/log/lastlog -F perm=wa -F key=logins -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -F path=/var/log/lastlog -F perm=wa -F key=logins If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-85628r1166437_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 to generate audit records for all account creations, modifications, disabling, and termination events that affect "/var/log/lastlog". Add or update the following file system rule to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules": -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -F path=/var/log/lastlog -F perm=wa -F key=logins -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -F path=/var/log/lastlog -F perm=wa -F key=logins Restart the audit daemon with the following command for the changes to take effect: $ sudo service auditd restart
