Fix Recommendation

Configure the audit system to generate an audit event for any successful/unsuccessful use of the "fchownat" system call.

Add or update the following rules in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/stig.rules":

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchownat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k perm_chng
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchownat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k perm_chng

Notes: For 32-bit architectures, only the 32-bit specific entries are required.

To reload the rules file, issue the following command:

$ sudo augenrules --load

Check Contents

Verify the Ubuntu operating system generates an audit record upon successful/unsuccessful attempts to use the "fchownat" system call.

Check the configured audit rules with the following commands:

$ sudo auditctl -l | grep fchownat

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S fchownat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_chng
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchownat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k perm_chng

If the command does not return lines that match the example or the lines are commented out, this is a finding.

Notes:
- For 32-bit architectures, only the 32-bit specific output lines from the commands are required.
- The "-k" allows for specifying an arbitrary identifier, and the string after it does not need to match the example output above.
