V-38457: The /etc/passwd file must have mode 0644 or less permissive.
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If the "/etc/passwd" file is writable by a group-owner or the world the risk
|
|
of its compromise is increased. The file contains the list of accounts on the
|
|
system and associated information, and protection of this file is critical for
|
|
system security.
