| Description |
|---|
| Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify AlmaLinux OS 9 uses the gtls driver to encrypt audit records offloaded onto a different system or media from the system being audited with the following command: $ grep -i '$DefaultNetstreamDriver' /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/stig.conf:$DefaultNetstreamDriver gtls If the value of the "$DefaultNetstreamDriver" option is not set to "gtls" or the line is commented out, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure AlmaLinux OS 9 to use the gtls driver to encrypt offloaded audit records by setting the following options in "/etc/rsyslog.conf" or "/etc/rsyslog.d/[customfile].conf": $DefaultNetstreamDriver gtls |
