Fix Recommendation

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

> sudo transactional-update shell
> sudo find /lib /lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64 ! -user root -type d -exec chown root '{}' \;
> exit
> sudo reboot

Check Contents

Verify the system-wide shared library directories contained in the directories "/lib", "/lib64", "/usr/lib" and "/usr/lib64" are owned by root with the following command:

> sudo find /lib /lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64 ! -user root -type d -exec stat -c "%n %U" '{}' \;

If any system wide library directory is returned, this is a finding.
