Fix Recommendation

Configure Ubuntu 22.04 LTS library directories to be protected from unauthorized access. Run the following command:

$ sudo find /lib /usr/lib /lib64 ! -group root -type d -exec chgrp root '{}' \;

Check Contents

Verify the systemwide library directories "/lib", "/lib64", and "/usr/lib" are group-owned by "root" by using the following command:

$ sudo find /lib /usr/lib /lib64 ! -group root -type d -exec stat -c "%n %G" '{}' \;

If any systemwide shared library directory is returned, this is a finding.
