Assessment Title

Rule Text

The /etc/zones directory, and its contents, must be group-owned by root, sys, or bin.

Description

Discussion Text

Solaris zones configuration files must be protected against illicit creation, modification, and deletion.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

Checks

DISA STIG (Manual Reference)

Check the group ownership of the files and directories.

# ls -lLRa /etc/zones

If the group owner of the directory and all files is not root, sys, or bin, this is a finding.

If zones are not installed on the system, this is not a finding.

SCC Automation Reference

The reconstructed evaluation script behind this rule's OVAL check(s) — every module a compound check combines, with this rule's own concrete values and DISA's SCC tool's real per-module mechanism curated from static teardown of SCC releases.

#!/bin/bash
# Reconstructed from oval:mil.disa.fso.solaris11:def:21
# The /etc/zones directory, and its contents, must be group-owned by root, sys, or bin.
# Per-module read mechanism curated from static teardown of DISA's SCC tool
# (SCAP Compliance Checker) -- see the SCC Automation Reference above.
#
# MANUAL REVIEW REQUIRED -- the module(s) below could not be reconstructed
# into working code from curated SCC reference data, and are excluded from
# the automated result:
#   - file_object (file_test) -- /etc/zones directory, and its contents, must be group-owned by sys.: no extractor for field "group_id"

# /etc/zones directory must be group-owned by sys.
# file_object (file_test)
test_1() {
  ( [ "$(stat -c '%g' '/etc/zones')" -eq 0 ] ) || ( [ "$(stat -c '%g' '/etc/zones')" -eq 2 ] ) || ( [ "$(stat -c '%g' '/etc/zones')" -eq 3 ] )
}

if ! test_1; then
  echo "PASS (automated portion only -- MANUAL REVIEW still required, see notes above)"
else
  echo "FAIL (or see MANUAL REVIEW note above)"
fi

Assessment Script Powered by AISandbox-executed

A standalone Shell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked and actually executed in an isolated sandbox (not the real system this checks) — confirmed to run without errors.

#!/bin/sh
# OVAL definition: oval:mil.disa.fso/solaris11:def:21
if [ ! -d "/etc/zones" ]; then echo "PASS"; exit 0; fi
if [ ! -d "/etc/zones" ] || [ "$(stat -c "%G" /etc/zones)" != "sys" ] || [ "$(find /etc/zones -type f -name "*.xml" -exec stat -c "%G" {} \; | tr '\n' ',' | grep -o ',root,$' || echo '')" != "" ] || [ "$(find /etc/zones -type f -name "SUN*.xml" -exec stat -c "%G" {} \; | tr '\n' ',' | grep -o ',bin,$' || echo '')" != "" ]; then echo "FAIL"; exit 1; fi
echo "PASS"; exit 0

Remediation

Change the group ownership of the files and directories.
# chgrp -R sys /etc/zones
# chgrp root /etc/zones/*.xml
# chgrp bin /etc/zones/SUN*.xml
