Title
If the system is using LDAP for authentication or account information, the LDAP TLS certificate authority file and/or directory (as appropriate) must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
LDAP can be used to provide user authentication and account information, which are vital to system security. The LDAP client configuration must be protected from unauthorized modification.
Check Content
Check if the system is using NSS LDAP. # grep -v '^#' /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep ldap If no lines are returned, this vulnerability is not applicable. Verify the permissions of the certificate database files. # ls -lL /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db If the permissions of any of the files contain a "+", and extended ACL is present, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the certificate database files. # getfacl /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db Remove each ACE from each file. # setfacl -d [ACE] <cert db file>
