Topic

Updated audit packages that fix a bug and add an enhancement are now available.

Description

The audit packages contain user-space utilities for storing and searching
the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.

These updated audit packages fix the following bug:

  • ausearch was unable to interpret tty audit records. tty records are

specially-encoded, and the ausearch program could not decode them, which
resulted in their being displayed in encoded form. These updated packages
enable ausearch to interpret (i.e. decode correctly) TTY records, thus
resolving the issue. (BZ#497518)

In addition, these updated audit packages provide the following enhancement:

  • The aureport program was enhanced to add a '--tty' report option. This is

a new report that was recently added to audit in order to aid in the review
of TTY audit events. (BZ#497518)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated audit packages, which resolve
this issue and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
