Vulnerability discussion

An asymmetric encryption key must be protected during transmission. The public portion of an asymmetric key pair can be freely distributed without fear of compromise, and the private portion of the key must be protected. The application server will provide software libraries that applications can programmatically utilize to encrypt and decrypt information. These application server libraries must use NIST-approved or NSA-approved key management technology and processes when producing, controlling, or distributing symmetric and asymmetric keys.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: ls -l /opt/vmware/etc/sfcb/server.pem If permissions on the certificate file is not -r--r----- (440), this is a finding.

Fix text

At the command prompt, enter the following command: chmod 440 /opt/vmware/etc/sfcb/server.pem

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.
