Fix Recommendation

Configure Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to audit the execution of the partition management program "fdisk".

Add or update the following rule in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules" file:

-w /usr/sbin/fdisk -p x -k fdisk

To reload the rules file, issue the following command:

$ sudo augenrules --load

Check Contents

Verify Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is configured to audit the execution of the partition management program "fdisk" with the following command:

$ sudo auditctl -l | grep fdisk
-w /usr/sbin/fdisk -p x -k fdisk

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

Note: The "-k" allows for specifying an arbitrary identifier, and the string after it does not need to match the example output above.
