SV-26653r1_rule The inetd.conf file must not have extended ACLs.

Vulnerability discussion

The Internet service daemon configuration files must be protected as malicious modification could cause Denial of Service or increase the attack surface of the system.

Check content

Check the permissions of the inetd configuration file. # ls -lL /etc/inet/inetd.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/inet/inetd.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.
