Description Steve Grubb 2007-09-10 12:46:06 UTC
Description of problem:
The OBJ_PID audit event looks like this:

type=OBJ_PID msg=audit(08/21/2007 11:42:36.556:490) : opid=1709  
obj=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0

It has no information useful for CAPP environments. It should have the uid of
the process being signalled and the process name if possible. If the process
name cannot be added due to being on the hotpath, then we can do without.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.-a entry,always -S kill
2. kill -9 nnnn
3. ausearch -m OBJ_PID --start recent

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2007-11-01 18:25:25 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 2 Eric Paris 2007-12-10 20:14:55 UTC
Sent a patch to linux-audit for comment

It wastes 16x16 bytes of memory for every task that sends a signal if we do
signal auditing, i doubt it generates much concern....
