Title
The at.deny file must have mode 0600 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
The at daemon control files restrict access to scheduled job manipulation and must be protected. Unauthorized modification of the at.deny file could result in Denial of Service to authorized at users or provide unauthorized users with the ability to run at jobs.
Check Content
Check the mode of the file. # ls -lL /var/adm/cron/at.deny If the file has a mode more permissive than 0600, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the mode of the file. # chmod 0600 /var/adm/cron/at.deny
