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-271775r1092037_chk)

Verify that OL 9 system commands contained in the following directories have mode "755" or less permissive with the following command: $ sudo find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/libexec /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -exec ls -l {} \; If any system commands are found to be group-writable or world-writable, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-75732r1092036_fix)

Configure the system commands to be protected from unauthorized access. Run the following command, replacing "[FILE]" with any system command with a mode more permissive than "755". $ sudo chmod 755 [FILE]
