Title

RHEL 10 must generate audit records for successful and unsuccessful uses of the "init" command.

Control

Verify RHEL 10 is configured to audit the execution of the "init" command with the following command: $ sudo auditctl -l | grep /usr/sbin/init -a always,exit -S all -F path=/usr/sbin/init -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -F key=privileged-init If the command does not return a line, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Discussion

Misuse of the "init" command may cause availability issues for the system.
