EGO_AUDIT_LOG_INHERIT_PERMISSION on Linux to have the audit logs inherit the permission of the audit log directory

EGO_AUDIT_LOG_INHERIT_PERMISSION on Linux to have the audit logs inherit the permission of the audit log directory , But While having executable permissions audit log files may not be ideal, this is the designed behavior of EGO_AUDIT_LOG_INHERIT_PERMISSION. Any changes to this behaviour will require logging an RFE.

 

Raising this RFE for the solution to apply any permission for the audit log files instead inheriting permissions from the folder.

    This is special requirement due to the scan tool, not generic. The solution should be outside Symphony, for example, not set the audit dir with +x, just copy the audit/ with +x before the scan.

    To clarify, EGO_AUDIT_LOG_INHERIT_PERMISSION is enabled so that a log scanning tool can track the audit logs. However, the tool also needs execute privilege on the audits directory. Because EGO_AUDIT_LOG_INHERIT_PERMISSION directly inherits the permission bits from the audits directory, it results in audit log files with +x also. This will likely end up getting flagged as a security issue. The ability is needed to stop +x being applied to the log files.
