SV-38361r1_rule The cron log files must not have extended ACLs.

Vulnerability discussion

Cron logs contain reports of scheduled system activities and must be protected from unauthorized access or manipulation.

Check content

Check the permissions of the file. # ls -lL /var/adm/cron/log If the permissions include a "+" the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the optional ACL from the file. # chacl -z /var/adm/cron/log

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.
