PHTN-67-000079 - The Photon operating system must ensure root $PATH entries are appropriate.
Information
The $PATH variable contains a semicolon-delimited set of directories that allows root to not specify the full path for a limited set of binaries. Having unexpected directories in $PATH can lead to root running a binary other than the one intended.Solution
At the command line, execute the following command:# export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/java/jre-vmware/bin:/opt/vmware/bin
