Fix Recommendation

Configure the system commands and their respective parent directories to be protected from unauthorized access. Run the following command, replacing "[FILE]" with any system command file not owned by "root" or a required system account:

$ sudo chown root [FILE]

Check Contents

Verify the system commands contained in the following directories are owned by root, or a required system account, with 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 not owned by a required system account, this is a finding.
