Check Text ( C-38930r2_chk )
Check if the system is using NSS LDAP.
# grep -v '^#' /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep ldap
If no lines are returned, this vulnerability is not applicable.

Verify the group ownership of the certificate database files.
# ls -lL /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db
If the group owner of any of the files is not root, bin, or sys, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-34069r1_fix)
Change the group ownership of the certificate database files.
# chgrp root /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db
