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 NSS LDAP client is configured to check certificates against a certificate revocation list. # grep -i '^tls_crlcheck' /etc/ldap.conf If the setting does not exist, or the value is not "all", this is a finding. |
