Vulnerability discussion

Failure to give group ownership of the hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file to root, bin, sys, or system provides the members of the owning group and possible unauthorized users, with the potential to modify it. Unauthorized modifications could disrupt access to local printers from authorized remote hosts or permit unauthorized remote access to local printers.

Check content

Check the group ownership of the print service configuration files. Procedure: # ls -lL /etc/printers.conf /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf If the files are not group-owned by root, bin, or sys, this is a finding.

Fix text

Change the group owner of the print service configuration files. Procedure: # chgrp bin /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf # chgrp root /etc/printers.conf /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf

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.
