>Description:
OpenBSM auditd(8) fails to expire audit trail files if the "host"
parameter is defined in /etc/security/audit_control.

This is caused by improper filtering of file names in the
auditd_expire_trails() function of libauditd(3). The filtering works
correctly if "host" parameter has not been defined.

>How-To-Repeat:
Add the following:

host:192.168.1.1

...in /etc/security/audit_control as well as some expiration limit
("expire-after" parameter).

(Re-)start auditd.

Produce enough audit records to reach the expiration limit.  

You will notice that nothing gets expired. /var/audit will grow
indefinitely.
