Configure TOSS 5 to disable storing core dumps.
Add or edit the following line in a system configuration file in the "/etc/sysctl.d/" directory:
kernel.core_pattern = |/bin/false
Reload the system configuration files for the changes to take effect.
$ sudo sysctl --system
Verify TOSS 5 disables storing core dumps with the following commands:
$ sudo sysctl kernel.core_pattern
kernel.core_pattern = |/bin/false
If the returned line does not have a value of "|/bin/false", or a line is not returned and the need for core dumps is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
