Details

Check Text ( C-27544r1_chk )
Check user home directories for local initialization files with extended ACLs.
# cut -d : -f 6 /etc/passwd | xargs -n1 -IDIR ls -alL DIR/.login DIR/.cshrc DIR/.logout DIR/.profile DIR/.bash_profile DIR/.bashrc DIR/.bash_logout DIR/.env DIR/.dtprofile DIR/.dispatch DIR/.emacs DIR/.exrc

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

Fix Text (F-23711r1_fix)
Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# getfacl [local initialization file with extended ACL]
Remove each ACE returned.
# setfacl -d [ACE] [local initialization file with extended ACL]
