All SLEM 5 local interactive user home directories must have mode 750 or less permissive.

Excessive permissions on local interactive user home directories may allow unauthorized access to user files by other users.

Note: This may miss interactive users that have been assigned a privileged User Identifier (UID). Evidence of interactive use may be obtained from a number of log files containing system logon information.

Verify the assigned home directory of all SLEM 5 local interactive users has a mode of "750" or less permissive with the following command:

     > ls -ld $(awk -F: '($3>=1000)&&($7 !~ /nologin/){print $6}' /etc/passwd)
     -rwxr-x--- 1 dosuser users 18 Mar 5 17:6 /home/dosuser

If home directories referenced in "/etc/passwd" do not have a mode of "750" or less permissive, this is a finding.

Change the mode of SLEM 5 local interactive user's home directories to "750". To change the mode of a local interactive user's home directory, use the following command:

Note: The example will be for the user "dosuser".

     > sudo chmod 750 /home/dosuser
