| Description | ||||
| If TOSS 5 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 TOSS 5 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-282540r1201318_chk)
Verify the systemwide shared library files are owned by "root" with the following command:
$ sudo find -L /lib /lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64 ! -user root -exec ls -l {} \;
If any systemwide shared library file is not owned by root, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-87006r1201317_fix)
Configure the systemwide shared library files (/lib, /lib64, /usr/lib and /usr/lib64) to be protected from unauthorized access.
Run the following command, replacing "[FILE]" with any library file not owned by "root".
$ sudo chown root [FILE]
