SV-26824r2_rule The smb.conf file must not have an extended ACL.

Vulnerability discussion

Excessive permissions could endanger the security of the Samba configuration file and, ultimately, the system and network.

Check content

Check the group ownership of the Samba configuration file. Default locations for this file include /etc, /etc/sfw, /etc/samba, and /etc/sfw/samba. If the system has Samba installed in non-standard locations, also check the smb.conf in those locations. Procedure: # ls -lL /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.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 file. # chmod A- /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.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.
