Check: GEN001210
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN001210
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
All system command files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permissions will protect system command files from unauthorized modification. System command files include files present in directories used by the operating system for storing default system executables and files present in directories included in the system's default executable search paths.
Check Content
Verify all system command files have no extended ACLs. # ls -lL /etc /bin /usr/bin /usr/lbin /usr/usb /sbin /usr/sbin 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 <path>/<file-with-extended-ACL>
