Check: GEN001240
AIX 5.3 STIG:
GEN001240
(in version v1 r3)
Title
System files, programs, and directories must be group-owned by a system group. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permissions will protect the files from unauthorized modification.
Check Content
Check the group ownership of system files, programs, and directories. Procedure: # ls -lLa /etc /bin /usr/bin /usr/lbin /usr/ucb /sbin /usr/sbin If any system file, program, or directory is not group-owned by a system group, this is a finding. For this check, the system-provided "ipsec" group is also acceptable.
Fix Text
Change the group owner of system files to a system group. Procedure: # chgrp sys /path/to/system/file (System groups other than sys may be used.)
