Fix Recommendation

Configure the system commands directories 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 -perm /022 -type d -exec chmod -R 755 '{}' \;

Check Contents

Verify the system commands directories have mode 0755 or less permissive:

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

Check that the system command directories have mode 0755 or less permissive with the following command:

> find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -type d -exec stat -c "%n %a" '{}' \;

If any directories are found to be group-writable or world-writable, this is a finding.
