File system extended ACLs provide access to files beyond what is allowed by the mode numbers of the files. If extended ACLs are present on the system's boot loader configuration file(s), these files may be vulnerable to unauthorized access or modification, which could compromise the system's boot process.
This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the type zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. On systems that have a ZFS root, the active menu.lst file is typically located at /pool-name/boot/grub/menu.lst where "pool-name" is the mount point for the top-level dataset. On systems that have a UFS root, the active menu.lst file is typically located at /boot/grub/menu.lst. To locate the active GRUB menu, use the bootadm command with the list-menu option: # bootadm list-menu Check the permissions of the menu.lst file. Procedure: # ls -lL /pool-name/boot/grub/menu.lst or # ls -lL /boot/grub/menu.lst If the permissions of the menu.lst file contain "+", an extended ACL is present, and this is a finding.
If the file with the extended ACL resides on a UFS filesystem: # getfacl /boot/grub/menu.lst Remove each ACE from the file. # setfacl -r [ACE] /boot/grub/menu.lst If the file with the extended ACL resides on a ZFS filesystem: # chmod A- /pool-name/boot/grub/menu.lst
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
