Fix Recommendation

Configure HYCU to audit the execution of the "execve" system call.

Add or update the following file system rules to "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules":

-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

Reboot the appliance to take effect.

Check Contents

Check if HYCU is configured to audit the execution of the "execve" system call, by running the following command:

$ sudo grep execve /etc/audit/audit.rules

-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 command does not return all lines, or the lines are commented out, this is a finding.
