Description
Unauthorized access could destroy the integrity of the library files.
ℹ️ Check
Check the mode of library files by running the following command:
# ls -lLR /usr/lib /lib
If any of the library files have a mode more permissive than "0755", this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Change the mode of library files to "0755" or less permissive by running the following command:
# chmod 0755 <path>/<library-file>
NOTE: Library files should have an extension of .a or .so (a=archive, so=shared object) extension, possibly followed by a version.
