Discussion

Unauthorized users must not be allowed to access or modify the /etc/syslog.conf file.

Check Content

Check the permissions of the syslog configuration file.
# ls -lL /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/


If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# setfacl --remove-all <syslog configuration file>
