Title
All run control scripts must have no extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If the startup files are writable by other users, they could modify the startup files to insert malicious commands into the startup files.
Check Content
Verify run control scripts have no extended ACLs. Check if extended permissions are disabled. # ls -l /etc/rc* # aclget /etc/rc* # aclget /etc/init.d If extended permissions are not disabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the run control script(s) and disable extended permissions. #acledit <directory>/<file>
