RHEL 9 must be configured so that the file integrity tool verifies Access Control Lists (ACLs).
An XCCDF Rule
Description
RHEL 9 installation media ships with an optional file integrity tool called Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE). AIDE is highly configurable at install time. This requirement assumes the "aide.conf" file is under the "/etc" directory. ACLs can provide permissions beyond those permitted through the file mode and must be verified by the file integrity tools.
