Check: GEN001180
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server v11 for System z STIG:
GEN001180
(in versions v1 r12 through v1 r9)
Title
All network services daemon files must have mode 0755 or less permissive. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Restricting permission on daemons will protect them from unauthorized modification and possible system compromise.
Check Content
Check the mode of network services daemons. # find /usr/sbin -type f -perm +022 -exec stat -c %a:%n {} \; This will return the octal permissions and name of all files that are group or world writable. If any network services daemon listed is world or group writable (either or both of the 2 lowest order digits contain a 2, 3 or 6), this is a finding. Note: Network daemons not residing in these directories (such as httpd or sshd) must also be checked for the correct permissions.
Fix Text
Change the mode of the network services daemon. # chmod go-w <path>
