To prevent unauthorized access or manipulation of system audit logs, the tools for manipulating those logs must be protected.
Check the mode of audit tool executables. # ls -l /sbin/auditctl /sbin/auditd /sbin/ausearch /sbin/aureport /sbin/autrace /sbin/audispd If any listed file has a mode more permissive than 0750, this is a finding.
Change the mode of the audit tool executable to 0750, or less permissive. # chmod 0750 [audit tool executable]
