Fix Recommendation

Configure the system-wide 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 group-owned by "root".

$ sudo chgrp root [FILE]

Check Contents

Verify the system-wide shared library files are group-owned by "root" with the following command:

$ sudo find -L /lib /lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64 ! -group root -exec ls -l {} \;

If any system wide shared library file is returned and is not group-owned by a required system account, this is a finding.
