GEN001170 - All files and directories must have a valid group-owner.

Information

Files without a valid group-owner may be unintentionally inherited if a group is assigned the same GID as the GID of the files without a valid group-owner.

Solution

Change the group owner for each file without a valid group owner.
# chgrp <a-valid-group> /tmp/a-file-without-a-valid-group-owner
