Vulnerability discussion

The snmpd.conf files contain authenticators and must be protected from unauthorized access and modification. If the files are not owned by root, they may be subject to access and modification from unauthorized users.

Check content

Determine the owner of the SNMP configuration files. Procedure: # ls -lL /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf /var/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf /usr/sfw/lib/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf If the snmpd.conf files are not owned by root, this is a finding.

Fix text

Change the owner of the snmpd.conf file to root. Procedure: # chown root

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.
