Discussion

Excessive permissions on the "" file may allow unauthorized modification which could lead to Denial of Service to authorized users or provide access to unauthorized users.

Check Content

SUSE ships the InternetNewsDaemon (innd) news server. The file that corresponds to "/etc/news/hosts.nntp.nolimit" is "/etc/news/innfeed.conf". Check the permissions for "/etc/news/innfeed.conf".

# ls -lL /etc/news/innfeed.conf

If "/etc/news/innfeed.conf" has a mode more permissive than 0600, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of "/etc/news/innfeed.conf" to 0600.
# chmod 0600 /etc/news/infeed.conf
