Check Text (C-281320r1184635_chk)

Note: If kernel dumps are disabled in accordance with RHEL-10-701090, this requirement is not applicable. Verify RHEL 10 is not configured to acquire, save, or process core dumps with the following command: $ sudo systemctl status systemd-coredump.socket o systemd-coredump.socket Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit systemd-coredump.socket is masked.) Active: inactive (dead) ... If the "systemd-coredump.socket" is loaded and not masked, and the need for core dumps is not documented with the information system security officer as an operational requirement, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-85786r1167109_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 to disable the systemd-coredump.socket with the following command: $ sudo systemctl mask --now systemd-coredump.socket Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/systemd-coredump.socket -> /dev/null Reload the daemon for this change to take effect. $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
