Vulnerability discussion

If the "at" directory has a mode more permissive than 0755, unauthorized users could be allowed to view or to edit files containing sensitive information within the "at" directory. Unauthorized modifications could result in Denial of Service to authorized "at" jobs.

Check content

Open a terminal session and enter the following command to verify the mode of the "at" directory. ls -ld /var/at If the directory mode is more permissive than 0755, this is a finding.

Fix text

Open a terminal session and enter the following command to set the mode of the "at" directory to 755. chmod 755 /var/at

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.
