EnGarde Secure Linux: Why not give it a try?

EnGarde Secure Linux is a Linux server distribution that is geared toward providing a open source platform that is highly secure by default as well as easy to administer. EnGarde Secure Linux includes a select group of open source packages configured to provide maximum security for tasks such as serving dynamic websites, high availability mail transport, network intrusion detection, and more. The Community edition of EnGarde Secure Linux is completely free and open source, and online security and application updates are also freely available with GDSN registration.

Linux File & Directory Permissions Mistakes

One common mistake Linux administrators make is having file and directory permissions that are far too liberal and allow access beyond that which is needed for proper system operations. A full explanation of unix file permissions is beyond the scope of this article, so I'll assume you are familiar with the usage of such tools as chmod, chown, and chgrp. If you'd like a refresher, one is available right here on linuxsecurity.com.

I've witnessed systems administrators whose response to a user complaining about being denied access to a given file is to chmod 777 the file (or entire directory tree) in question. This is an absolutely disastrous security practice, the administrator has just granted write access to the file to any user on the system. Any compromised service will allow an attacker to modify the file, which could result in further access depending on the file in question. For example, an attacker gaining write access to a script that is occasionally run by root can parlay this seemingly minor security hole into full root access for himself.

  • Never make files world-writable. Most files do not need to be world readable either.
  • You can search for world-writable files under your current directory by issuing the following command: find . -perm -2 -print

A related mistake is in the misuse of suid root binaries. These are programs which can be launched by a user but run with all the privileges of root. These programs are needed to perform tasks such as changing a user's password, since that requires a write to the system's password file which normally cannot be modified by anyone but root. A flaw that allows an attacker to gain a shell prompt in such a program can give an attacker root access to the system. These binaries should be carefully limited and must be kept up to date with appropriate security patches to minimize their risk. A common backdoor installed by successful attackers is a copy of /bin/sh set suid root. This can be run by any user on the system, without a password, and will result in full root access.
