1.112 RHEL-10-400115

Information

RHEL 10 must be configured so that library files are group-owned by "root" or a system account.

GROUP ID: V-281040RULE ID: SV-281040r1184734

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.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that the systemwide shared library files (/lib, /lib64, /usr/lib, and /usr/lib64) are protected from unauthorized access.

Run the following command, replacing "[FILE]" with any library file not group-owned by "root".

$ sudo chgrp root [FILE]
