Check Text ( C-36440r2_chk )
Check the permissions of audit tool executables.
# ls -lL /usr/sbin/audfilter /usr/sbin/auditdp

If audit tool executables are not found, this check is not applicable.

If one or more audit tools is found and the file permissions include a "+" the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-31779r1_fix)
Remove the optional ACL from the file.
# chacl -z [audit file]
