Ensure audit_backlog_limit is configured

NiedrigStufe 2Automatisiertlinux

Beschreibung

In the kernel-level audit subsystem, a socket buffer queue is used to hold audit events. Whenever a new audit event is received, it is logged and prepared to be added to this queue. The kernel boot parameter audit_backlog_limit=N, with N representing the amount of messages, will ensure that a queue cannot grow beyond a certain size. If an audit event is logged which would grow the queue beyond this limit, then a failure occurs and is handled according to the system configuration
