Storage=none

Check Contents

Verify the operating system disables storing core dumps for all users by issuing the following command:

$ sudo grep -i storage /etc/systemd/coredump.conf

Storage=none

If the "Storage" item is missing, commented out, or the value is anything other than "none" and the need for core dumps is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement for all domains that have the "core" item assigned, this is a finding.
