Fix Recommendation

On a 32-bit system, add the following to "/etc/audit/audit.rules":

# audit_time_rules
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S stime -k audit_time_rules

Note: On a 64-bit system, it is not necessary to define a rule for "stime".

Check Contents

If the system is 64-bit only, this is not applicable.

To determine if the system is configured to audit calls to the "stime" system call, run the following command:

$ sudo grep -w "stime" /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S stime -k audit_time_rules

If the system is not configured to audit the "stime" system call, this is a finding.
