Verify that SLEM 5 file integrity tool is configured to verify extended attributes.
> sudo grep acl /etc/aide.conf
All= p+i+n+u+g+s+m+S+sha512+acl+xattrs+selinux
If the "acl" rule is not being used on all selection lines in the "/etc/aide.conf" file, or extended attributes are not being checked by another file integrity tool, this is a finding.
