SV-38783r1_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

#aclget /var/adm/cron/log Verify if extended permissions are disabled. If extended permissions are not disabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the extended ACL from the cronlog file and disable extended permissions. #acledit /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.
