Check: GEN000000-IRIX00110

IRIX 6.5: GEN000000-IRIX00110 (in versions v1 r1 through v1 r0.6)

Title

The /etc/config/sat_select.options file must not have an extended ACL. (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 their sessions. This would allow malicious operations the auditing subsystem would not detect for that user. It could also result in long-term system compromise possibly leading to the compromise of other systems and networks.

Check Content

Check for extended ACLs on the file. # ls -D /etc/config/sat_select.options If an extended ACL is present, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file.
