Verify Disk Permissions Warning

Help...I ran a Verify Disk Permissions scan on my 2013 MacBook Pro and received the following message:

Warning SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteAgent/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent.a pp" has been modified and will not be repaired.


I have searched the user community and a few other sites and cannot find anything related to this. Does anyone know what this is/means/how to resolve?


Thanks in advance!

Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore - Apple Support


The simplest method of resolving "problems" that arise from the Repair Disk Permissions function is to not run Repair Disk Permissions in the first place.


The only time it is remotely useful is if you install software that is poorly written such that it modifies permissions to do the install, but fails to return the permissions to their appropriate values. You have to wonder why it alters the permissions in the first place.
