Fix Recommendation

Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "fchown" system call by adding or updating the following line to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k perm_mod

The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Check Contents

Verify TOSS generates an audit record when successful/unsuccessful attempts to use the "fchown" system call by performing the following command to check the file system rules in "/etc/audit/audit.rules":

$ sudo grep -w fchown /etc/audit/audit.rules

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k perm_mod

If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
