(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
NIS/NIS+/yp command files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
NIS/NIS+/yp files are part of the system's identification and authentication processes and are, therefore, critical to system security. ACLs on these files could result in unauthorized modification, which could compromise these processes and the system.
Check Content
Verify NIS/NIS+/yp files have no extended ACLs. # ls -lL /var/yp/* 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/yp/*
