SLEM 5 must generate audit records for all uses of the "chfn" command.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
| V-261428 | SLEM-05-654025 | SV-261428r996691_rule | CCI-000130 | medium |
| Description | ||||
| Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. At a minimum, the organization must audit the full-text recording of privileged commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise. | ||||

Check Text (C-261428r996691_chk)
Verify SLEM 5 generates an audit record for all uses of the "chfn" command with the following command:
> sudo auditctl -l | grep -w '/usr/bin/chfn'
-a always,exit -S all -F path=/usr/bin/chfn -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -F key=privileged-chfn
If the command does not return any output or the returned line is commented out, this is a finding.
Note: The "key=" value is arbitrary and can be different from the example output above.
Fix Text (F-65065r996690_fix)
Configure SLEM 5 to generate an audit record for all uses of the "chfn" command.
Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file:
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chfn -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-chfn
To reload the rules file, restart the audit daemon:
> sudo systemctl restart auditd.service
or issue the following command:
> sudo augenrules --load
