Check Text (C-261280r996324_chk)
Verify that SLEM 5 has a separate file system/partition for the system audit data path with the following command:
Note: "/var/log/audit" is used as the example as it is a common location.
> grep /var/log/audit /etc/fstab
UUID=c4e898dd-6cd9-4091-a733-9435e505957a /var btrfs defaults,subvol=@/var/log/audit 0 0
If a separate entry for the system audit data path (in this example the "/var/log/audit" path) does not exist, ask the system administrator if the system audit logs are being written to a different file system/partition on the system and then grep for that file system/partition.
If a separate file system/partition does not exist for the system audit data path, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-64917r995706_fix)
Migrate SLEM 5 audit data path onto a separate file system or partition.
