Fix Recommendation

Configure the audit tools to have a mode of "0755" using the following command:

$ sudo chmod 0755 [audit_tool]

Replace "[audit_tool]" with each audit tool that has a more permissive mode than "0755".

Check Contents

Verify the audit tools have a mode of "0755" or less using the following command:

$ stat -c "%a %n" /sbin/auditctl /sbin/aureport /sbin/ausearch /sbin/autrace /sbin/auditd /sbin/rsyslogd /sbin/augenrules

755 /sbin/auditctl
755 /sbin/aureport
755 /sbin/ausearch
755 /sbin/autrace
755 /sbin/auditd
755 /sbin/rsyslogd
755 /sbin/augenrules

If any of the audit tool files have a mode more permissive than "0755", this is a finding.
