SV-956r2_rule The /usr/aset/userlist file must be owned by root.

Vulnerability discussion

If the userlist file is not owned by root, then an unauthorized user can modify the file and enter an unauthorized user.

Check content

If ASET is not used on the system, this is not applicable. Check the ownership of the /usr/aset/userlist file. # ls -lL /usr/aset/userlist If the owner of the file is not root, this is a finding.

Fix text

Use the chmod command to change the owner of the /usr/aset/userlist file. # chown root /usr/aset/userlist

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.
