The audit service _MUST_ be configured to create log files that are readable only by the root user and group wheel. To achieve this, audit log files _MUST_ be configured to mode 440 or less permissive; thereby preventing normal users from reading, modifying or deleting audit logs.
Fix:
/bin/chmod 440 $(/usr/bin/grep '^dir' /etc/security/audit_control | /usr/bin/awk -F: '{print $2}')
Parameter:
[440]
Technical Mechanism:
/bin/chmod 440 $(/usr/bin/grep '^dir' /etc/security/audit_control | /usr/bin/awk -F: '{print $2}')
