Hi,
I am Sarthak Jain working in MicroFocus. I want your small help to clarify one of my doubt
regarding the kernel auditing on RHEL 7.1. I hope you are the right person to contact. It
will just 2 min (max :P) to go through the problem.
Assumption: Ideally, if we change the configuration file (for ex- /etc/hosts), we should
be getting audit events for it.
Scenario: By default, the permissions for '/etc/hosts' is (rw-r-r--). If we modify
this file, then audit events are coming as attached in file - 'file1.txt'.
Problem: Let say if we change the permissions of the '/etc/hosts' to (rw-rw-rw),
then audit system is not recording the "CONFIG_CHANGE" event at all. I have
attached the file - 'file2.txt' for your reference. Can you please clarify this ?
Is it a kernel level bug?
I would be greatly thankful to you if you could please comment on this.
Thanks.
