Public bug reported:
The /etc/cron.daily/aide script sets a variable $TMPBASE to "/run/aide".
Each time this script is run (daily), it moves the current data in
/run/aide/cron.daily to a directory with a random name:
/run/aide/cron.daily.old.XXXXXXXXXX.
When doing this, it preserves all the data from the previous run and
adds approximately the same amount of data from the current run.
Eventually, all this data will fill up the /run filesystem.
This bug will affect anyone that has run the CIS hardening scripts on
their systems. We would like this to be fixed so that this is not the
default behavior.
