A locally logged-on user who presses Ctrl-Alt-Delete when at the console can reboot the system. If accidentally pressed, as could happen in the case of a mixed operating system environment, this can create the risk of short-term loss of systems availability due to unintentional reboot.
In a graphical user environment, risk of unintentional reboot from the Ctrl-Alt-Delete sequence is reduced because the user will be prompted before any action is taken.
Check
Verify RHEL 10 is not configured to reboot the system when Ctrl-Alt-Delete is pressed with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status ctrl-alt-del.target o ctrl-alt-del.target Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit ctrl-alt-del.target is masked.) Active: inactive (dead)
If the "ctrl-alt-del.target" is loaded and not masked, this is a finding.
Fix
Configure RHEL 10 to disable the "ctrl-alt-del.target" with the following command:
