Create or edit the setting in a drop-in configuration file:

$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/coredump.conf

Add the following line:

Storage=none

Check Contents

Note: If kernel dumps are disabled in accordance with RHEL-10-701090, this requirement is not applicable.

Verify RHEL 10 disables storing core dumps for all users by issuing the following command:

$ sudo grep -ir storage /etc/systemd/ | grep -v '#'
/etc/systemd/coredump.conf:Storage=none

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