But it won't. It gets the value of
AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP_BACKLOG_WAIT_TIME, which is 0x00000002.
I think you meant to ask about AUDIT_VERSION_LATEST, which would become 3.
You *did* already ask that question in a previous thread, and there
didn't seem to be a concern. Steve Grubb could likely answer this
question better than me.
The audit 2.4.1 package has been pushed to everything from F20 -> rawhide. If
you don't see any problems, then its safe. But check carefully around the
things that you did change. Right now, we only are caring about only one
kernel feature, --loginuid-immutable. Check that it still works, auditctl -s.
