Title
The /etc/news/hosts.nntp (or equivalent) must have mode 0600 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Excessive permissions on the hosts.nntp 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/hosts.nntp permissions. # ls -lL /etc/news/hosts.nntp If /etc/news/hosts.nntp has a mode more permissive than 0600, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the mode of the /etc/news/hosts.nntp file to 0600. # chmod 0600 /etc/news/hosts.nntp
