1.144 RHEL-10-400285

Information

RHEL 10 must be configured so that all local files and directories have a valid group owner.

GROUP ID: V-281074RULE ID: SV-281074r1165577

Files without a valid group owner may be unintentionally inherited if a group is assigned the same group identifier (GID) as the GID of the files without a valid group owner.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that all local files and directories have a valid group owner.

Either remove all files and directories from RHEL 10 that do not have a valid group, or assign a valid group to all files and directories on the system with the "chgrp" command:

$ sudo chgrp <group> <file>
