Discussion

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

Check Content

The root role is required.

Check that the permissions on users' home directories are 750 or less permissive.

# for dir in `logins -ox |\
awk -F: '($8 == "PS") { print $6 }'`; do
find ${dir} -type d -prune \( -perm -g+w -o \
-perm -o+r -o -perm -o+w -o -perm -o+x \) -ls
done

If output is created, this is finding.

Fix Text

The root role is required. 

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

# chmod 750 [directory name]
