Check: GEN003950

Solaris 10 X86 STIG: GEN003950 (in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)

Title

The hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file must not have an extended ACL. (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 permissions 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 permissions on any file include a '+', the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACLs from the files. # chmod A- /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
