Control: 3.19 Ensure that the /etc/default/docker file ownership is set to root:root
Description
You should verify that the /etc/default/docker file ownership and group-ownership is
correctly set to root
The /etc/default/docker file contains sensitive parameters that may alter the behavior
of the Docker daemon. It should therefore be individually owned and group owned by
root to ensure that it cannot be modified by less privileged users.
Remediation
You should execute the following command
chown root:root /etc/default/docker
This sets the ownership and group ownership of the file to root.
Default Value
This file may not be present on the system, and in this case, this recommendation is not applicable.
Usage

powerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_19Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
