Fix Recommendation

Apply the machine config to audit the execution of "execve" by executing the following:

for mcpool in $(oc get mcp -oname | sed "s:.*/::" ); do
echo "apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig

Check Contents

Verify OpenShift is configured to audit the execution of the "execve" system call by executing the following:

for node in $(oc get node -oname); do oc debug $node -- chroot /host /bin/bash -c 'echo -n "$HOSTNAME "; grep -e "execpriv" /etc/audit/audit.rules' 2>/dev/null; done

Confirm the following rules exist on each node:

-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 above rules are not listed on each node, this is a finding.
