Information

All SUSE operating system files and directories must have a valid owner.

GROUP ID: V-235028
RULE ID: SV-235028r991589

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 SUSE operating system that do not have a valid user, or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on the system with the "chown" command:

sudo chown <user> <file>
