The SUSE Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured so that the x86 Ctrl-Alt-Delete key sequence is disabled in the Graphical User Interface.ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:84437 | Date: (C)2022-09-26 (M)2023-05-09 |

A locally logged-on user who presses Ctrl-Alt-Delete, when at the console, can reboot the system. If accidentally pressed, as could happen in the case of a mixed OS environment, this can create the risk of short-term loss of availability of systems due to unintentional reboot. In the graphical environment, risk of unintentional reboot from the Ctrl-Alt-Delete sequence is reduced because the user will be prompted before any action is taken.
