(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The at.deny file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
The at daemon control files restrict access to scheduled job manipulation and must be protected. Unauthorized modification of the at.deny file could result in Denial of Service to authorized at users or provide unauthorized users with the ability to run at jobs.
Check Content
Check the permissions of the file. # ls -lL /var/adm/cron/at.deny If the permissions include a "+" the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the optional ACL from the file. # chacl -z /var/adm/cron/at.deny
