Vulnerability Discussion

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.

Check

Verify all files and directories on OL 8 have a valid owner with the following command:

$ sudo find / -nouser

If any files on the system do not have an assigned owner, this is a finding.

Fix

Either remove all files and directories from the system that do not have a valid user or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on OL 8 with the "chown" command:

$ sudo chown
