1.159 RHEL-09-232255

Information

All RHEL 9 local files and directories must have a valid owner.

GROUP ID: V-257931
RULE ID: SV-257931r991589

Unowned files and directories may be unintentionally inherited if a user is assigned the same user identifier "UID" as the UID of the unowned files.

Solution

Either remove all files and directories from the system that do not have a valid user, or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on RHEL 9 with the "chown" command:

$ sudo chown <user> <file>
