Discussion

The IRIX sat_select.options file allows for selective auditing or non-auditing of features for certain users. If it is not protected, it could be compromised and used to mask audit events. This could cause the loss of valuable forensics data in the case of a system compromise.

Fix

Change the group owner of the sat_select.options file to root.
