# echo -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S execve -C uid!=euid -F euid=0 -k execpriv>>/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.STIG.rules
# echo -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -C uid!=euid -F euid=0 -k execpriv>>/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.STIG.rules
# echo -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S execve -C gid!=egid -F egid=0 -k execpriv>>/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.STIG.rules
# echo -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -C gid!=egid -F egid=0 -k execpriv>>/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.STIG.rules
# /sbin/augenrules --load

Check Contents

At the command line, execute the following command:

# auditctl -l | grep execve

Expected result:

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S execve -C uid!=euid -F euid=0 -k execpriv
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -C uid!=euid -F euid=0 -k execpriv
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S execve -C gid!=egid -F egid=0 -k execpriv
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -C gid!=egid -F egid=0 -k execpriv

If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
