Discussion

If RHEL 10 allowed any user to make changes to software libraries, those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robust change management process. This requirement applies to RHEL 10 with software libraries that are accessible and configurable, as in the case of interpreted languages. Software libraries also include privileged programs that execute with escalated privileges.

Check Content

Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that the system commands contained in the following directories have mode "755" or less permissive with the following command:

$ sudo find -L /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/libexec /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -exec ls -l {} \;

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