Check Text ( C-43784r671392_chk )
Check for the configured "umask" value in "login.defs" with the following command: # grep UMASK /etc/login.defs If the default "umask" is not "077", this a finding. Note: If the default umask is "000" or allows for the creation of world-writable files this becomes a Severity Code I finding.

Fix Text (F-43743r671393_fix)
To configure the correct UMASK setting run the following command: # sed -i "/^[^#]*UMASK/ c\UMASK 077" /etc/login.defs
