Title

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

Control

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

Discussion

Misuse of the shutdown command may cause availability issues for the system.
