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 user interface environment, risk of unintentional reboot from the Ctrl-Alt-Delete sequence is reduced because the user will be prompted before any action is taken.

Fix:Configure the system to disable the Ctrl-Alt-Delete sequence for the graphical user interface. Create a database to contain the system-wide setting (if it does not already exist) with the following steps: 1. Create a user profile and with the listed content: /etc/dconf/profile/user user-db:user system-db:local 2. Create the following directories: > sudo mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d/ > sudo mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/ 3. Add the following files with the listed content: /etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-fips-settings [org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys] logout=[''] /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/01-fips-locks /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/logout 4. Update the dconf database: > sudo dconf update
