Fix Recommendation

Configure all public directories to be owned by root or a system account to prevent unauthorized and unintended information transferred via shared system resources.

Set the owner of all public directories as root or a system account using the command, replace "[Public Directory]" with any directory path not owned by root or a system account:

$ sudo chown root [Public Directory]

Check Contents

$ sudo find PART -xdev -type d -perm -0002 -uid +0 -print
