SV-38824r1_rule The /usr/lib/smb.conf file must not have an extended ACL.

Vulnerability discussion

Excessive permissions could endanger the security of the Samba configuration file and, ultimately, the system and network.

Check content

Check the group ownership of the Samba configuration file. # aclget /usr/lib/smb.conf If the extended attributes are not disabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the extended ACL from the /usr/lib/smb.conf file and change extended attributes to disabled. #acledit /usr/lib/smb.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.
