Discussion

System start-up files not owned by root could lead to system compromise by allowing malicious users or applications to modify them for unauthorized purposes. This could lead to system and network compromise.

Check Content

Check run control scripts' ownership.

# ls -lL /etc/rc* /etc/init.d

If any run control script is not owned by root, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the ownership of the run control script(s) with incorrect ownership.

# chown root <run control script>
