Title
The SMTP service log file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If the SMTP service log file has an extended ACL, unauthorized users may be allowed to access or to modify the log file.
Check Content
Examine /etc/syslog.conf and determine the log file(s) receiving logs for mail.crit, mail.debug, mail.*, or *.crit. Check the permissions on these log files. # ls -lL [log file] If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the file. # chmod A- [log file]
