Permissions on user . (hidden) files must be 750 or less permissive.

Group-writable or world-writable user configuration files may enable malicious users to steal or modify other users' data or to gain another user's system privileges.

The root role is required.

Ensure that the permissions on user "." files are 750 or less permissive.

# for dir in \ `logins -ox | awk -F: '($8 == "PS") { print $6 }'`; do find ${dir}/.[A-Za-z0-9]* \! -type l \ \( -perm -0001 -o -perm -0002 -o -perm -0004 -o -perm -0020 \) -ls done

If output is produced, this is a finding.

The root role is required.

Change the permissions on users' "." files to 750 or less permissive.

# chmod 750 [file name]
