# CIS 5.4.4 Ensure default user umask is 027 or more restrictive (Scored) |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Description |
|
|
|
# =========== |
|
|
|
# The default umask determines the permissions of files created by users. |
|
|
|
# The user creating the file has the discretion of making their files and |
|
|
|
# directories readable by others via the chmod command. Users who wish to |
|
|
|
# allow their files and directories to be readable by others by default may |
|
|
|
# choose a different default umask by inserting the umask command into the |
|
|
|
# standard shell configuration files ( .profile , .bashrc , etc.) in their |
|
|
|
# home directories. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Rationale |
|
|
|
# ========= |
|
|
|
# Setting a very secure default value for umask ensures that users make a |
|
|
|
# conscious choice about their file permissions. A default umask setting of |
|
|
|
# 077 causes files and directories created by users to not be readable by |
|
|
|
# any other user on the system. A umask of 027 would make files and |
|
|
|
# directories readable by users in the same Unix group, while a umask of 022 |
|
|
|
# would make files readable by every user on the system. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Audit |
|
|
|
# ===== |
|
|
|
# Run the following commands and verify all umask lines returned are 027 or |
|
|
|
# more restrictive. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# # grep "^umask" /etc/bash.bashrc |
|
|
|
# umask 027 |
|
|
|
# # grep "^umask" /etc/profile |
|
|
|
# umask 027 |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Remediation |
|
|
|
# =========== |
|
|
|
# Edit the /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile files (and the appropriate files |
|
|
|
# for any other shell supported on your system) and add or edit any umask |
|
|
|
# parameters as follows: |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# umask 027 |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Notes |
|
|
|
# ===== |
|
|
|
# The audit and remediation in this recommendation apply to bash and shell. |
|
|
|
# If other shells are supported on the system, it is recommended that their |
|
|
|
# configuration files also are checked. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Other methods of setting a default user umask exist however the shell |
|
|
|
# configuration files are the last run and will override other settings if |
|
|
|
# they exist therefore our recommendation is to configure in the shell |
|
|
|
# configuration files. If other methods are in use in your environment they |
|
|
|
# should be audited and the shell configs should be verified to not override. |
