Fix Recommendation

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

$ sudo find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ! -user root -type d -exec chown root '{}' \;

Check Contents

Verify the system commands directories are owned by root with the following command:

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

If any system commands directories are returned, this is a finding.
