SV-26737r1_rule The snmpd.conf file must not have an extended ACL.

Vulnerability discussion

The snmpd.conf file contains authenticators and must be protected from unauthorized access and modification.

Check content

Check the permissions of the SNMP configuration files. # ls -lL/etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf /var/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf /usr/sfw/lib/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL and this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the extended ACL from the files. # chmod A- /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf /var/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf /usr/sfw/lib/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
