SV-60943r1_rule The default umask for FTP users must be 077.

Vulnerability discussion

Setting a very secure default value for umask ensures that users make a conscious choice about their file permissions.

Check content

The package service/network/ftp must be installed for this check. # pkg list service/network/ftp If the output of this command is: pkg list: no packages matching 'service/network/ftp' installed no further action is required. Determine if the FTP umask is set to 077. # egrep -i "^UMASK" /etc/proftpd.conf | awk '{ print $2 }' If 077 is not displayed, this is a finding.

Fix text

The root role is required. # pkg list service/network/ftp If the output of this command is: pkg list: no packages matching 'service/network/ftp' installed no further action is required. Otherwise, edit the FTP configuration file. # pfedit /etc/proftpd.conf Locate the line containing: Umask Change the line to read: Umask 077

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.
