Title

The /etc/config/sat_select.options file must be group-owned by root. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The IRIX sat_select.options file allows for selective auditing or non-auditing of features for certain users. If it is not protected, it could be compromised and used to mask audit events. This could cause the loss of valuable forensics data in the case of a system compromise.

Check Content

Check /etc/config/sat_select.options group ownership. # ls -lL /etc/config If /etc/config/sat_select.options file is not group owned by root, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the group owner of the sat_select.options file to root.
