SV-38807r1_rule The hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file must not have an extended ACL.

Vulnerability discussion

Excessive permissions on the hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file may permit unauthorized modification. Unauthorized modifications could disrupt access to local printers from authorized remote hosts or permit unauthorized remote access to local printers.

Check content

Check the permissions of the /etc/hosts.lpd file. #aclget /etc/hosts.lpd Check if extended permissions are disabled. If extended permissions are not disabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the extended ACL from the hosts.lpd file and disable extended permissions. #acledit /etc/hosts.lpd

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.
