Vulnerability Discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check

Verify the audit system is configured to audit the loading and unloading of dynamic kernel modules. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the audit system to audit the loading and unloading of dynamic kernel modules.
