Fix Recommendation

Configure RHEL 10 so that the systemwide shared library files (/lib, /lib64, /usr/lib, and /usr/lib64) are protected from unauthorized access.

Run the following command, replacing "[FILE]" with any library file not owned by "root".

$ sudo chown root [FILE]

Check Contents

Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that the systemwide shared library files are owned by "root" with the following command:

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

If any systemwide shared library file is not owned by root, this is a finding.
