Check: GEN009290
AIX 6.1 SECURITY TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE:
GEN009290
(in versions v1 r14 through v1 r10)
Title
The system must not have the systat service active. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
The systat daemon allows remote users to see the running process and who is running them. This may aid in information collection for an attack and weaken the security posture of the system.
Check Content
Check the /etc/inetd.conf file for active systat service. #grep systat /etc/inetd.conf | grep -v \# If the systat service is enabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out systat the service line. Restart the inetd service. # refresh -s inetd
