SV-38710r1_rule The system must not have the dtspc service active.

Vulnerability discussion

This service is started automatically by the inetd daemon with root permission in response to a CDE client requesting a process to be started on the daemon’s host system. Running the dtscp service is unnecessary and it increases the attack vector of the system.

Check content

Check the /etc/inetd.conf for the dtspc service. #grep dtspcd /etc/inetd.conf | grep -v \# If the dtspc service is enabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out dtspc 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.
