GEN003790
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The services file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
The services file is critical to the proper operation of network services and must be protected from unauthorized modification. If the services file has an extended ACL, it may be possible for unauthorized users to modify the file. Unauthorized modification could result in the failure of network services.
Check Content
Check the permissions of the /etc/services file. # ls -lL /etc/services 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 /etc/services
