Check Text ( C-38930r2_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 group ownership of the certificate database files. # ls -lL /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db If the group owner of any of the files is not root, bin, or sys, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-34069r1_fix)
Change the group ownership of the certificate database files. # chgrp root /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db
