Check: GEN006330
Solaris 10 X86 STIG:
GEN006330
(in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)
Title
The /etc/news/passwd.nntp file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Extended ACLs may provide excessive permissions on the /etc/news/passwd.nntp file, which may permit unauthorized access or modification to the NNTP configuration.
Check Content
Check the permissions of the file. # ls -lL /etc/news/passwd.nntp If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the file. # chmod A- /etc/news/passwd.nntp
