Ensure default path does not include current working directory

MittelStufe 1Automatisiertaix

Beschreibung

This change removes any "." or "::" entries from /etc/environment. If a "." or "::" is present the current working directory is included in the default search path. Any "." and "::" will be removed from /etc/environment. This means that any harmful programs placed in common PATH locations, would never be automatically executed. All directories must be explicitly defined within the PATH variable. Audit: automated read-only check derived from the CIS audit procedure; it prints "compliant" when the control is met.

Examine PATH in /etc/environment to see if it contains any "." or "::" entries: grep "^PATH=" /etc/environment |awk '/((:[ \t]*:)|(:[ \t]*$)|(^[\t]*:)|(^.:)|(:.$)|(:.:))/' If the command above yields output, remove the "." and "::" entries from: vi /etc/environment
