Check Text ( C-39506r1_chk )
Check if the system is using NSS LDAP. # grep -v '^#' /etc/nsswitch.conf \| grep ldap If no lines are returned, this vulnerability is not applicable. Verify the permissions of the certificate database files. # ls -lL /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db If the permissions of any of the files contain a "+", and extended ACL is present, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31354r1_fix)
Remove the extended ACL from the certificate database files. # chmod A- /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db
