A) Changed to two messages. word writable - ERROR, group writable - WARNING. B) Changed to WARNING. whitelist is implemented now |
Description of problem: A) An rwxrwxr-x file is "executable and world/group writable" even if the file is owned by a group that has the file's owner as the only member. e.g. /var/lib/misc/PolicyKit.reload B) 'Symbolic link "..." points to a non-existent file" is an error. Is the security risk really that severe? Perhaps consider at least whitelisting /lib/modules/*/{source,build} if they point to the "correct" locations.
