Vulnerability discussion

If manual pages are compromised, misleading information could be inserted, causing actions that may compromise the system.

Check content

Determine if any manual page files on the system have extended ACLs. Check to see if extended permissions are disabled. #aclget < directory >/< file > If extended permissions are not disabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the extended ACLs from system manual page file(s) and disable extended permissions. #acledit < directory >/< file >

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.
