Discussion

If manual pages are compromised, misleading information could be inserted, causing actions to compromise the system.

Check Content

Verify all manual page files have no extended ACLs.
# ls -lL /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man* /usr/share/info 
If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# setfacl --remove-all /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/man/man* /usr/share/info/*
