TL;DR verification-succeeded Ok, so here are the details.
I have two vms: one called orig-audit-bionic, the other called sru- audit-bionic, where I ran the script from comment #23 over the weekend in multiple scenarios. With auditd-1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1, the bug is reproduced after a few hours, whereas with 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 I had it running over 36h in one case with no failure. a) orig-audit-bionic Installed with the original auditd-1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1, I had two runs to verify the failure: a.1) First run started at Fri Jan 22 19:20:29 UTC 2021 failed at Fri Jan 22 22:43:51 UTC 2021 Jan 22 22:43:51 orig-audit-bionic systemd[1]: Starting Security Auditing Service... Jan 22 22:43:51 orig-audit-bionic auditd[24058]: Started dispatcher: /sbin/audispd pid: 24060 Jan 22 22:43:51 orig-audit-bionic audispd: No plugins found, exiting Jan 22 22:45:21 orig-audit-bionic systemd[1]: auditd.service: Start operation timed out. Terminating. a.2) Second run, same package started at Sat Jan 23 14:30:11 UTC 2021 failed at Sat Jan 23 21:35:20 UTC 2021 Jan 23 21:35:20 orig-audit-bionic systemd[1]: Starting Security Auditing Service...

Terminating. I then upgraded the auditd package to 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1, and started another run: started at Sat Jan 23 23:54:35 UTC 2021 manually aborted at Mon Jan 25 12:23:42 UTC 2021 No failure. b) sru-audit-bionic Installed the original auditd-1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1, and upgraded it straight away to 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1. Then started the script. started at Fri Jan 22 19:23:38 UTC 2021 manually aborted at Sun Jan 24 18:53:09 UTC 2021 No failure. I then downgraded the auditd package back to auditd-1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1 and ran the script again. started at Sun Jan 24 19:00:56 UTC 2021 failed at Sun Jan 24 23:32:58 UTC 2021 Jan 24 23:32:58 sru-audit-bionic systemd[1]: Starting Security Auditing Service...
