Fix Recommendation

Configure the system commands to be protected from unauthorized access.

If the command requiring a permissions change resides in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin run the following command:

> sudo find -L /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -type f -exec chmod 755 '{}' \;

If the command requiring a permissions change resides in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /or usr/sbin run the following commands:

> sudo transactional-update shell
> sudo find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin -perm /022 -type f -exec chmod 755 '{}' \;
> exit
> sudo reboot

Check Contents

Verify that the system commands have mode "755" or less permissive with the following command:

> find -L /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -type f -exec stat -c "%n %a" '{}' \;

If any files are found to be group-writable or world-writable, this is a finding.
