Check: GEN001190

VMware ESX 3 Server: GEN001190 (in version v1 r2)

Title

All network services daemon files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Restricting permission on daemons will protect them from unauthorized modification and possible system compromise.

Check Content

Verify network services daemon files have no extended ACLs. # ls -la <network service daemon> If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding. Note: Network daemons not residing in these directories must also be checked.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL(s) from the network service daemon file(s).
