(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
All network services daemon files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permission on daemons will protect them from unauthorized modification and possible system compromise.
Check Content
Check Content: Verify network services daemon files have no extended ACLs. # cat /etc/inetd.conf | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | grep -v '^#' | cut -f6,6 -d " " | xargs -n1 ls -lL If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL, and this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the optional ACL from the file. # chacl -z <path>/< network-services-daemon>
