Check: GEN001200
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN001200
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
All system command files must have mode 755 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permissions will protect system command files from unauthorized modification. System command files include files present in directories used by the operating system for storing default system executables and files present in directories included in the system's default executable search paths.
Check Content
Check the permissions for files in /etc, /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/lbin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin. # ls -lL /etc /bin /usr/bin /usr/lbin /sbin /usr/sbin If any file listed has a mode more permissive than 755, this is a finding. Note: Elevate to Severity Code I if any file is listed as world-writable.
Fix Text
Change the mode for system command files to 755 or less permissive. # chmod 755 <filename>
