Fix Recommendation

Configure TOSS 5 to shut down by default upon audit failure (unless availability is an overriding concern).

Add or update the following line (depending on the configuration, "disk_error_action" can be set to "SYSLOG" or "SINGLE") in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" file:

disk_error_action = HALT

If availability has been determined to be more important, and this decision is documented with the information system security officer (ISSO), configure the operating system to notify the SA and ISSO in the event of an audit processing failure by setting the "disk_error_action" to "SYSLOG".

Check Contents

Verify TOSS 5 takes the appropriate action when an audit processing failure occurs using the following command:

$ sudo grep disk_error_action /etc/audit/auditd.conf

disk_error_action = HALT

If the value of the "disk_error_action" option is not "SYSLOG", "SINGLE", or "HALT", or the line is commented out, ask the system administrator (SA) to indicate how the system takes appropriate action when an audit process failure occurs. If there is no evidence of appropriate action, this is a finding.
