Description
If audit data were to become compromised, then competent forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. To ensure the veracity of audit data, the operating system must protect audit information from unauthorized access. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000057, SRG-OS-000058, SRG-OS-000059

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 7 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-216277r958434_chk)

The root role is required. This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. Check that the directory storing the audit files is owned by root and has permissions 750 or less. Note: By default in Solaris 11.1, /var/audit is a link to /var/share/audit which is mounted on rpool/VARSHARE. Determine the location of the audit trail files # pfexec auditconfig -getplugin audit_binfile The output will appear in this form: Plugin: audit_binfile (active) Attributes: p_dir=/var/audit;p_fsize=0;p_minfree=1 The p_dir attribute defines the location of the audit directory. # ls -ld /var/share/audit Check the audit directory is owned by root, group is root, and permissions are 750 (rwx r-- ---) or less. If the permissions are excessive, this is a finding.
