Verify all manual page files have no extended ACLs.
# ls -lLR /usr/share/man /usr/share/info /usr/share/infopage

If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL this is a finding.

Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# setfacl --remove-all /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/info/* /usr/share/infopage/*
