Configure OL 8 to disable storing core dumps for all users.

Add or modify the following line in "/etc/systemd/coredump.conf":

Storage=none

Check Contents

Note: If kernel dumps are disabled in accordance with OL08-00-010671, this requirement is not applicable.

Verify OL 8 disables storing core dumps for all users with the following command:

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

Storage=none

If the "Storage" item is missing or 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.
