Guys I need your help, I can access my syslog with my normal user, permissions are messed up

I did Code:ls -l /var/log/syslog and got the result Code:-rw-r--r-- 1 syslog adm 198407 Nov 24 13:30 /var/log/syslog Now I know that that extra r at the end shouldn't be there, how can I fix my permissions so that only root can access my syslog? Because as of right now I can Code: cat /var/log/syslog without root password and it's driving me nuts.

My system specs are as follows. Ubutu mate 16.04 with esm updates until 2024. My kernel is Code: uname -r 6.5.12-x64v1-xanmod1
