SV-27019r2_rule The /etc/zones directory, and its contents, must not be group- or world-writable.

Vulnerability discussion

Solaris zones configuration files must be protected against illicit creation, modification, and deletion.

Check content

Check the permissions of the files and directories. # ls -lLdR /etc/zones If the mode of a directory is more permissive than 0755, or the mode of a file more permissive than 0644, this is a finding. If zones are not installed on the system, this is not a finding.

Fix text

Change the mode of the file or directory. # chmod 0644 For directories: # chmod 0755

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.
