Vulnerability discussion

If manual pages are compromised, misleading information could be inserted, causing actions possibly compromising the system.

Check content

Verify that all manual page files do not have extended ACLs. # find `env | grep MANPATH | cut -f 2,2 -d "=" | tr ':' ' ' ` -type f -exec ls -al '{}' | grep '^[a-zA-Z\-]\{10\}+' If the permissions include a "+" the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the optional ACL from the file(s). # chacl -z /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/info/* /usr/share/infopage/*

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.
