Vulnerability discussion

The /etc/security/audit_user is a sensitive file and must be owned by root to prevent possible system compromise.

Fix text

Change the owner of the /etc/security/audit_user file to root. # chown root /etc/security/audit_user

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
