Configure Ubuntu 22.04 LTS commands and their respective parent directories to be protected from unauthorized access. Run the following command, replacing "<command_name>" with any system command not owned by "root" or a required system account:

$ sudo chown root <command_name>

Check Contents

Verify the system commands contained in the following directories are owned by "root", or a required system account, by using the following command:

$ sudo find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ! -user root -type f -exec stat -c "%n %U" '{}' \;

If any system commands are returned and are not owned by a required system account, this is a finding.
