Check: GEN001180
AIX 5.3 STIG:
GEN001180
(in version v1 r3)
Title
All network services daemon files must have mode 0755 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permission on daemons will protect them from unauthorized modification and possible system compromise.
Check Content
Check the mode of network services daemons. # ls -la /usr/sbin /usr/bin If the mode of a network services daemon is more permissive than 0755, this is a finding. NOTE: Network daemons that may not reside in these directories (such as httpd or sshd) must also be checked for the correct permissions.
Fix Text
Change the mode of the network services daemon. # chmod 0755 <path>
