Title
Crontab files must have mode 0600 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
To protect the integrity of scheduled system jobs and prevent malicious modification to these jobs, crontab files must be secured.
Check Content
Check the mode of the crontab files. # ls -lL /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ If any crontab file has a mode more permissive than 0600, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the mode of the crontab files. # chmod 0600 /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*
