Fix Recommendation

Configure the "sudo" command to require reauthentication.

Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/sudoers" file:

Defaults timestamp_timeout=<value>

Note: The "<value>" must be a number that is greater than or equal to "0".

Check Contents

Verify SLEM 5 requires reauthentication when using the "sudo" command to elevate privileges with the following command:

> sudo grep -ir 'timestamp_timeout' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d
/etc/sudoers:Defaults timestamp_timeout=0

If "timestamp_timeout" is set to a negative number, is commented out, conflicting results are returned, or no results are returned, this is a finding.
