UBTU-22-651035 - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS must have a crontab script running weekly to offload audit events of standalone systems.

Information

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Create a script that offloads audit logs to external media and runs weekly.

The script must be located in the '/etc/cron.weekly' directory.
