Check Contents

Verify Nutanix OS generates audit records for successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify security objects occur using the following commands.

$ sudo grep -i /usr/sbin/semanage /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/semanage -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k secobjects

$ sudo grep -i /usr/sbin/setsebool /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/setsebool -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k secobjects

$ sudo grep -i /usr/bin/chcon /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chcon -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k secobjects

$ sudo grep -iw /usr/sbin/setfiles /etc/audit/audit.rules
-a always,exit -F path=/usr/sbin/setfiles -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-priv_change

If the commands do not return any output, this is a finding.
