Vulnerability discussion

The ttdbserver service for CDE is an unnecessary service that runs as root and might be compromised.

Check content

Check the /etc/inetd.conf file for active ttdbserver service. # grep 'rpc\.ttdbserver' /etc/inetd.conf |grep -v \# If the ttdbserver service is enabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out ttdbserver service line. Restart the inetd service. # refresh -s inetd

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.
