I don't think tracking CWD is an issue as it's already right there in the same audit event as the PATH record. The question is one of combining data that's already present in a manner which is easier to process. E.g.: type=CWD msg=audit(1183402887.758:2083): cwd="/root" type=PATH msg=audit(1183402887.758:2083): item=0 name="/etc/ld.so.cache" inode=2362196 dev=fd:00 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ld_so_cache_t:s0 In this case, /etc/ld.so.cache is already absolute, but there's no requirement for it to be.
