Description
If OL 9 allowed any user to make changes to software libraries, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robust change management process. This requirement applies to OL 9 with software libraries that are accessible and configurable, as in the case of interpreted languages. Software libraries also include privileged programs that execute with escalated privileges.

Check Text (C-271773r1155299_chk)

Verify OL 9 system commands contained in the following directories are group-owned by "root", or a required system account, with the following command: $ sudo find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/libexec /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ! -group root -exec ls -l {} \; If any system commands are returned and is not group-owned by a required system account, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-75730r1092030_fix)

Configure the system commands to be protected from unauthorized access. Run the following command, replacing "[FILE]" with any system command file not group-owned by "root" or a required system account. $ sudo chgrp root [FILE]
