Discussion
The ability to read the MIB file could impart special knowledge to an intruder or malicious user about the ability to extract compromising information about the system or network.
Check Content
Check the file permissions for the MIB files. # find / -type f -name *.mib -exec ls -lL {} \; 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 <mib file>
