Description

To properly set the permissions of /etc/shells, run the command:

$ sudo chmod 0644 /etc/shells

Rationale

The /etc/shells file contains the list of full pathnames to shells on the system. Since this file is used by many system programs this file should be protected.

#!/bin/bash

chmod u-xs,g-xws,o-xwt /etc/shells

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
