Check Text ( C-39503r2_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 mode of the certificate database files. # ls -lL /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db If the mode of any of the files is more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-34620r2_fix)
Change the mode of the certificate database files. # chmod 0644 /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db NOTE: Some SAs may prefer to set the permissions to 0600. This is acceptable.
