Ensure All SUID Executables Are Authorized
The SUID (set user id) bit should be set only on files that were

RPM package, which is cryptographically verified. Investigate the origin
of any unpackaged SUID files.
Parameter:
Technical Mechanism:
Executable files with the SUID permission run with the privileges of
the owner of the file. SUID files of uncertain provenance could allow for
unprivileged users to elevate privileges. The presence of these files should be
strictly controlled on the system.
