Discussion

If the access permissions are more permissive than 0640, system security could be compromised.

Check Content

Check the permissions of the file.
# ls -lLd /etc/security/access.conf
If the permissions of the file or directory contains a '+', an extended ACL is present. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# setfacl --remove-all /etc/security/access.conf
