Solaris 10 X86 STIG: GEN005375 (in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)

Title

The snmpd.conf file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The snmpd.conf file contains authenticators and must be protected from unauthorized access and modification.

Check Content

Check the permissions of the SNMP configuration files. # ls -lL/etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf /var/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf /usr/sfw/lib/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the files. # chmod A- /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf /var/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf /usr/sfw/lib/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf
