Fix Recommendation

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

Run the following command, replacing "[DIRECTORY]" with any library directory not group-owned by "root".

$ sudo chgrp root [DIRECTORY]

Check Contents

Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that the systemwide shared library directories are group-owned by "root" or a system account with the following command:

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

If any systemwide shared library directory is returned and is not group-owned by "root" or a required system account, this is a finding.
