Check: GEN003940

Solaris 10 X86 STIG: GEN003940 (in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)

Title

The hosts.lpd (or equivalent) must have mode 0644 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Excessive permissions on the hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file may permit unauthorized modification. Unauthorized modifications could disrupt access to local printers from authorized remote hosts or permit unauthorized remote access to local printers.

Check Content

Check the mode of the print service configuration files. Procedure: # ls -lL /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf /etc/printers.conf /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf If the mode of any of the print service configuration file is more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of the print service configuration files to 0644 or less permissive. Procedure: # chmod 0644 /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf /etc/printers.conf /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf
