GEN005100
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The TFTP daemon must have mode 0755 or less permissive. (Cat I impact)
Discussion
If TFTP runs with the setuid or setgid bit set, it may be able to write to any file or directory and may seriously impair system integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
Check Content
Check the mode of the TFTP daemon. # ls -lL /usr/lbin/tftpd If the mode of the file is more permissive than 0755, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the mode of the TFTP daemon. # chmod 0755 /usr/lbin/tftpd
