Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2022-06-16 08:47:00 UTC

Description of problem:

The /usr/share/audit/sample-rules/30-ospp-v42.rules file has section

## Use of special rights for config changes. This would be use of setuid
## programs that relate to user accts. This is not all setuid apps because
## requirements are only for ones that affect system configuration.

A binary which meets this criteria but is not listed is /usr/sbin/grub2-set-bootflag.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

audit-3.0.7-101.el9_0.2.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp /usr/share/audit/sample-rules/30-ospp-v42.rules /etc/audit/rules.d/
2. augenrules --load
3. As unprivileged user, run grub2-set-bootflag boot_success
4. grep grub2-set-bootflag /var/log/audit/audit.log

Actual results:

No record found.

Expected results:
