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 permissions.

Check Contents

Verify the Ubuntu operating system configures the audit tools to have a file permission of 0755 or less to prevent unauthorized access by running the following command:

$ stat -c "%n %a" /sbin/auditctl /sbin/aureport /sbin/ausearch /sbin/autrace /sbin/auditd /sbin/audispd /sbin/augenrules

/sbin/auditctl 755
/sbin/aureport 755
/sbin/ausearch 755
/sbin/autrace 755
/sbin/auditd 755
/sbin/audispd 755
/sbin/augenrules 755

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