Fix Recommendation

At a minimum, the SLES for vRealize audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and "root".

Add the following to "/etc/audit/audit.rules":

-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S lremovexattr

Or run the following command to implement all logging requirements:

# /etc/dodscript.sh

Check Contents

To determine if SLES for vRealize is configured to audit calls to the "lremovexattr" system call, run the following command:

# auditctl -l | grep syscall | grep lremovexattr

If SLES for vRealize is configured to audit this activity, it will return several lines, such as:

LIST_RULES: exit,always arch=3221225534 (0xc000003e) syscall=lchown,sethostname,init_module,delete_module,setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr,fremovexattr,clock_settime

If no lines are returned, this is a finding.
