STIG ID: RHEL-10-000520  |  SRG: SRG-OS-000341-GPOS-00132 |  Severity: low (CAT III)  |  CCI: CCI-001849 |  Vulnerability Id: V-280936

Vulnerability Discussion

Placing "/var/log/audit" in its own partition enables better separation between audit files and other system files and helps ensure that auditing cannot be halted due to the partition running out of space.

Check

Verify RHEL 10 uses a separate file system/partition for the system audit data path with the following command:

Note: /var/log/audit is used as the example as it is a common location.

$ mount | grep /var/log/audit
/dev/mapper/rootvg-varlogaudit on /var/log/audit type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)
Note: Options displayed for mount may differ.

If no line is returned, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure RHEL 10 to use a separate file system for the system audit data path by migrating "/var/log/audit" onto a separate file system.
