Fix Recommendation

Configure the SUSE operating system to generate an audit record for all uses of the "ftruncate" system call.

Add or update the following rules to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k perm_access
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k perm_access

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k perm_access
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k perm_access

To reload the rules file, restart the audit daemon

> sudo systemctl restart auditd.service

or issue the following command:

> sudo augenrules --load

Check Contents

Verify the SUSE operating system generates an audit record for all uses of the "ftruncate" system call.

Check that the system call is being audited by performing the following command:

> sudo auditctl -l | grep -w 'ftruncate'

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access

If both the "b32" and "b64" audit rules are not defined for the "ftruncate" syscall, this is a finding.

If the output does not produce rules containing "-F exit=-EPERM", this is a finding.

If the output does not produce rules containing "-F exit=-EACCES", this is a finding.

Note:
The "-k" allows for specifying an arbitrary identifier. The string following "-k" does not need to match the example output above.

Severity Override Guidance

Verify the SUSE operating system generates an audit record for all uses of the "ftruncate" system call.

Check that the system call is being audited by performing the following command:

> sudo auditctl -l | grep -w 'ftruncate'

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EPERM -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S ftruncate -F exit=-EACCES -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_access

If both the "b32" and "b64" audit rules are not defined for the "ftruncate" syscall, this is a finding.

If the output does not produce rules containing "-F exit=-EPERM", this is a finding.

If the output does not produce rules containing "-F exit=-EACCES", this is a finding.

Note:
The "-k" allows for specifying an arbitrary identifier. The string following "-k" does not need to match the example output above.
