Title

The /etc/news/nnrp.access (or equivalent) must have mode 0600 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Excessive permissions on the nnrp.access file may allow unauthorized modification which could lead to Denial-of-Service to authorized users or provide access to unauthorized users.

Check Content

Check /etc/news/nnrp.access permissions. # ls -lL /etc/news/nnrp.access If /etc/news/nnrp.access has a mode more permissive than 0600, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of the /etc/news/nnrp.access file to 0600. # chmod 0600 /etc/news/nnrp.access
