Where possible, things need to run with the least privilege they can get away with.  The contents of /sbin and /usr/sbin should probably be set o-rwx.  Everything with a set[gu]id bit that the unprivileged user doesn't normally run should be set mode 0750.  In short, somebody has to go through the usual list of best practices lists and apply them to a running instance.\r\n\r\nIt would probably be a good idea to write a shell or Perl script to do the hardening for us, if only to speed up the process and make it less likely that something will be forgotten.  We'll have to integrate this into the package build process as well because it's more than just the base OS that should be audited.","comments":0,"title":"Security audit of Porteus Linux.","updated_at":"2011-10-14T12:15:05Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Sitwon/Byzantium/issues/3","id":1909844,"assignee":null,"milestone":null,"closed_at":null,"user":{"gravatar_id":"28aa3a3936b03f068b3097608b364ed7","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/28aa3a3936b03f068b3097608b364ed7?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/virtadpt","id":639730,"login":"virtadpt"},"html_url":"https://github.com/Sitwon/Byzantium/issues/3","labels":[],"state":"open"},"legacy":{"number":3,"action":"opened","issue":1909844}}
