Title
The /usr/aset/userlist file must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
File system ACLs can provide access to files beyond what is allowed by the mode numbers of the files.
Check Content
Check the permissions of the file. # ls -lLd /usr/aset/userlist If the permissions of the file or directory contains a "+", an extended ACL is present, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the file. # getfacl /usr/aset/userlist Remove each ACE returned. # setfacl -d [ACE] /usr/aset/userlist
