Assessment Procedure

Check Text

Check system directories for uneven file permissions. 
Procedure:
 # ls -lL /etc /bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /sbin /usr/sbin 

Uneven file permissions exist if the file owner has less permissions than the group or other user classes. If any of the files in the above listed directories contain uneven file permissions, this is a finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Change the mode of files with uneven permissions so owners do not have less permission than group or world users.
