RHEL-07-020330 - The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured so that all files and directories have a valid group owner.

Information

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

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

# chgrp <group> <file>
