Fix Recommendation

Configure the audit tools on the Ubuntu operating system to be protected from unauthorized access by setting the correct permissive mode using the following command:

# sudo chmod 0755 [audit_tool]

Replace "[audit_tool]" with the audit tool that does not have the correct permissive mode.

Check Contents

Verify the audit tools are protected from unauthorized access, deletion, or modification by checking the permissive mode.

For each audit tool,
/sbin/auditctl, /sbin/aureport, /sbin/ausearch, /sbin/autrace, /sbin/auditd, /sbin/audispd, /sbin/augenrules

Check the permissions by running the following command:

# stat -c "%n %a" /sbin/auditctl

755 /sbin/auditctl

If any of the audit tools have a mode more permissive than 0755, this is a finding.
