Title

The /etc/config/sat_select.options file must have mode 0640 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

sat_select.options is a sensitive file that, if compromised, would allow a malicious user to select auditing parameters to ignore his sessions. This would allow malicious operations the auditing subsystem would not log for that user.

Check Content

Check /etc/config/sat_select.options permissions. # ls -lL /etc/config/sat_select.options If /etc/config/sat_select.options is more permissive than 0640, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of the sat_select.options file to 0640. # chmod 0640 /etc/config/sat_select.options
