Title:
  auditd fails to add rules when used in precise with -lts-quantal
  kernel

Status in “audit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  auditctl fails to add rules when run with the -lts-quantal kernel

  Eample:
  # auditctl -l
  No rules
  # auditctl -a entry,always -F arch=b64 -S execve -k exec
  Error sending add rule data request (Invalid argument)
  #

  Looks like the syscall table needs updating, it works with the 3.2.0
  kernel.

  Tagging this as a security vulnerability because it fails fairly
  quietly and may lead to high security systems not having required
  auditing (like PCI compliant systems), I only noticed by looking in
  /var/log/boot.log.

  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  ii  auditd                             1.7.18-1ubuntu1                    User space tools for security auditing
  ii  linux-image-generic-lts-quantal    3.5.0.26.33                        Generic Linux kernel image
