| Description |
|---|
| If a user is assigned the Group Identifier (GID) of a group that does not exist on the system, and a group with the GID is subsequently created, the user may have unintended rights to any files associated with the group. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify that all AlmaLinux OS 9 interactive users have a valid GID with the following command: $ pwck -r /etc/passwd If the system has any interactive users with a nonexistent primary group, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure the system so that all GIDs referenced in "/etc/passwd" are defined in "/etc/group". |
