Vulnerability discussion

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

Check content

Check the mode of the SNMP daemon configuration file. # ls -lL /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf If the /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf file has a mode more permissive than 0600, this is a finding.

Fix text

Change the mode of the SNMP daemon configuration file to 0600. # chmod 0600 /etc/SnmpAgent.d/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.
