Document the use of virtual system calls with the ISSO as an operational requirement or disable them using the following command:
$ sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="vsyscall=none"
Add or modify the following line in "/etc/default/grub" to ensure the configuration survives kernel updates:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vsyscall=none"
Verify the current GRUB 2 configuration disables virtual system calls using the following command:
$ sudo grubby --info=ALL | grep args | grep -v 'vsyscall=none'
If any output is returned and is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
