Fix Recommendation

Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful uses of the "setsebool" command.

Add or modify the following lines in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file:

-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/setsebool -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-unix-update

To reload the rules file, restart the audit daemon:

> sudo systemctl restart auditd.service

or issue the following command:

> sudo augenrules --load

Check Contents

Verify SLEM 5 generates an audit record for all uses of the "setsebool" command with the following command:

> sudo grep -w "setsebool" /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/setsebool -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-unix-update

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

Note: The "key=" value is arbitrary and can be different from the example output above.
