Hello, I am new to Linux and the forum so please bare with me. I have a question about permission changes to executables due to a possible update. I'm running an older Linux release: RHEL 6... and I ran into a situation where the permissions on 2 executables where changed/reset and I believe this was due to an update.
Both scp and ssh seem to have been updated on Apr 27 and the permissions/ownership changed at that time.
-rwx-----. 1 root root 67648 Apr 27 00:55 /usr/bin/scp
-rwx-----. 1 root root 450728 Apr 27 00:55 /usr/bin/ssh
AFAIK RHEL 6, which is out of support no longer receives updates. I have corrected both permission problems but I wanted to know what possibly could have updated these 2 executables. No other executable in the /usr/bin directory were updated. I searched the syslogs and there is nothing in the logs that would clue me in on why these two were changed/updated. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
