Check: GEN001730

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server v11 for System z STIG: GEN001730 (in versions v1 r12 through v1 r9)

Title

All global initialization files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Global initialization files are used to configure the user's shell environment upon login. Malicious modification of these files could compromise accounts upon logon.

Check Content

Check global initialization files for extended ACLs: # ls -l /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login /etc/environment /etc/ksh.kshrc /etc/profile /etc/profile.d/* /etc/zshrc 2>/dev/null|grep "\+ " If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file. # ls -l /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login /etc/environment /etc/ksh.kshrc /etc/profile /etc/profile.d/* /etc/zshrc 2>/dev/null|grep "\+ "| awk '{ print $8}' xargs setfacl --remove-all
