Bug present on RHEL-7 too, tested with audit-2.4.1-5.el7
As we are fixing it in 6.8 we should fix it in 7.3 too.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1235457 +++

Description of problem:

  Since line buffer is too short for plugin config files, if user write a long comment in /etc/audisp/plugins.d/au-remote.conf, following errors can occur.

And line buffer for auditpd-config is robust.
If we add a long line, the following message is displayed.

~~~
Jun 24 16:49:22 rhel6local audispd: Skipping line 5 in /etc/audisp/audispd.conf: too long
~~~

- audit-2.3.7/audisp/audispd-config.c
~~~
int load_config(daemon_conf_t *config, const char *file)
{
        int fd, rc, mode, lineno = 1;
        struct stat st;
        FILE *f;
        char buf[160];

I updated the code to handle long lines just like audispd.conf and auditd.conf. Its fixed in upstream svn commit 1085.
