Check Text (C-271792r1094968_chk)
Verify that OL 9 configures the group ownership of the "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" file with the following command:
$ sudo stat -c "%G %n" /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
root /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
If "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" file does not have a group owner of "root", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-75749r1092087_fix)
Change the group of the file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to root by running the following command:
$ sudo chgrp root /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
