## 10.1.13 Disabled Kernel core dumps (Scored)
### Profile Applicability
Level 2
### Description
Kernel core dumps must be disabled unless needed.
### Rationale
Kernel core dumps may contain the full contents of system memory at the time of the crash. Kernel core dumps may consume a considerable amount of disk space and may result in denial of service by exhausting the available space on the target file system partition.
### Aduit
Verify that kernel core dumps are disabled unless needed. Check the status of the "kdump" service with the following command:
```
# grep "core" /etc/security/limits.conf
```
If the kernel core dump is set, this is a finding.
### Remediation
If kernel core dumps are not required, delete the contain "core" line in /etc/security/limits.conf.
