Check: GEN001190
AIX 6.1 SECURITY TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE:
GEN001190
(in versions v1 r14 through v1 r10)
Title
All network services daemon files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permission on daemons will protect them from unauthorized modification and possible system compromise.
Check Content
Verify network services daemon files have no extended ACLs. # aclget <directory>/<network service daemon> NOTE: Network daemons that may not reside in these directories (such as httpd or sshd) must also be checked for extended ACLs. If any of the service daemons have extended attributes enabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL(s) from the network service daemon file(s). #acledit < directory >/< network service daemon > Disable extended permissions.
