Fix Recommendation

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

> sudo find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ! -group root -type f -exec chgrp root '{}' \;

Check Contents

Verify the system commands contained in the following directories are group-owned by root:

/bin
/sbin
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin

Run the check with the following command:

> sudo find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ! -group root -type f -exec stat -c "%n %G" '{}' \;

If any system commands are returned that are not Set Group ID up on execution (SGID) files and owned by a privileged account, this is a finding.
