Check Content

Check the mode of library files. Procedure: # find /usr/lib /lib /usr/sfw/lib -perm -0722 -type f -o -perm -0720 -type f -o -perm -0702 -type f -exec ls -ld {} \; If any of the library files have a mode more permissive than 0755, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of library files to 0755 or less permissive. Procedure (example): # chmod 0755 /path/to/library-file NOTE: Library files should have an extension of .a or .so, possibly followed by a version number.
