Solaris 9 X86 STIG: GEN003410 (in version v1 r9)

Title

The at directory must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

If the at directory has an extended ACL, unauthorized users could be allowed to view or to edit files containing sensitive information within the at directory. Unauthorized modifications could result in Denial of Service to authorized at jobs.

Check Content

Check the permissions of the directory. # ls -lLd /var/spool/cron/atjobs If the permissions include a "+", the directory has an extended ACL and this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file. # getfacl /var/spool/cron/atjobs Remove each ACE returned. # setfacl -d [ACE] /var/spool/cron/atjobs
