GEN001550 - All files and directories in user's home directories must be group-owned by a group the home directory's owner is a member.

Information

If a user's files are group-owned by a group where the user is not a member, unintended users may be able to access them.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Change the group of a file not group-owned by a group where the home directory's owner is a member.
# chgrp [user's primary group] [file with bad group ownership]
