Discussion

Accounts on a web server are to be kept to a minimum. Only administrators, web managers, developers, auditors, and web authors require accounts on the machine hosting the web server. The resources to which these accounts have access must also be closely monitored and controlled. Performance Charts files must be adequately protected with correct permissions as applied out of the box.

Check

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# find /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/webapps/ -xdev -type f -a '(' -not -user root -a -not -user perfcharts -o -not -group root ')' -exec ls -la {} \;

If the command produces any output, this is a finding.

Fix

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# chown root:root <file_name>

Repeat the command for each file that was returned.

Note: Replace <file_name> for the name of the file that was returned.
