Error description

  • If a file is being audited as an audit object for write
    access mode
    and it is truncated using ksh redirection, the event is
    not reported
    in the audit log. For ex.: If the
    /etc/security/audit/objects file has
    following entry
    /etc/security/environ:
            w = "S_ENVIRON_WRITE"
    And we truncate it as following:
    # >/etc/security/environ
    No event is reported in the audit log.
