If manual pages are compromised, misleading information could be inserted, causing actions to compromise the system.
Check the mode of the manual page files. Procedure: # ls -lL /usr/share/man /usr/share/info /usr/share/man/man* If any of the manual page files have a mode more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.
Change the mode of manual page files to 0644 or less permissive. Procedure (example): # chmod 0644 /path/to/manpage
