SV-64299r2_rule The at directory must be owned by root, bin, sys, daemon, or cron.

Vulnerability discussion

If the owner of the "at" directory is not root, bin, or sys, unauthorized users could be allowed to view or edit files containing sensitive information within the directory.

Check content

Check the ownership of the "at" directory: Procedure: # ls -ld /var/spool/at If the directory is not owned by root, sys, bin, daemon, or cron, this is a finding.

Fix text

Change the owner of the "at" directory to root, bin, sys, or system. Procedure: # chown <"at" directory>

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.
