Check Text ( C-57668r846635_chk )
Verify Nutanix AOS audit log permissions are "0600" or less permissive.

$ sudo stat -c "%a %n" /home/log/audit/audit.log
600 /home/log/audit/audit.log

If the audit.log file(s) are more permissive than "0600", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-57619r846636_fix)
Run the salt stack call to set the audit log file permissions to "600".

$ sudo salt-call state.sls security/CVM/auditCVM
