Fix Recommendation

Configure the operating system to disable storing core dumps for all users.

Add or modify the following line in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf:

Storage=none

Check Contents

Note: If kernel dumps are disabled in accordance with OL09-00-002380, this requirement is not applicable.

Verify OL 9 disables storing core dumps for all users by issuing the following command:

$ grep -i storage /etc/systemd/coredump.conf
Storage=none

If the "Storage" item is missing, commented out, or the value is anything other than "none" and the need for core dumps is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement for all domains that have the "core" item assigned, this is a finding.
