Title
Unencrypted FTP must not be used on the system. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
FTP is typically unencrypted and, therefore, presents confidentiality and integrity risks. FTP may be protected by encryption in certain cases, such as when used in a Kerberos environment. SFTP and FTPS are encrypted alternatives to FTP.
Check Content
Perform the following to determine if unencrypted FTP is enabled. # svcs ftp If FTP is enabled, ask the SA if it is encrypted. If it is not, this is a finding.
Fix Text
# svcadm disable ftp
