Fix Recommendation

Configure Ubuntu OS to audit activities performed during nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions.

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

-w /var/log/sudo.log -p wa -k maintenance

To reload the rules file, issue the following command:

$ sudo augenrules --load

Note: The "-k <keyname>" at the end of the line gives the rule a unique meaning to help during an audit investigation. The <keyname> does not need to match the example above.

Check Contents

Verify Ubuntu OS audits activities performed during nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions by using the following command:

$ sudo auditctl -l | grep sudo.log
-w /var/log/sudo.log -p wa -k maintenance

If the command does not return lines that match the example or the lines are commented out, this is a finding.

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