Fix Recommendation

Edit the "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" file and add or update the "overflow_action" option:

overflow_action = syslog

Restart the audit daemon for changes to take effect.

Check Contents

Verify TOSS 5 audit system is configured to take an appropriate action when the internal event queue is full:

$ sudo grep -i overflow_action /etc/audit/auditd.conf

overflow_action = syslog

If the value of the "overflow_action" option is not set to "syslog", "single", "halt" or the line is commented out, ask the system administrator (SA) to indicate how the audit logs are off-loaded to a different system or media. If there is no evidence that the transfer of the audit logs being off-loaded to another system or media takes appropriate action if the internal event queue becomes full, this is a finding.
