Control: 3.20 Ensure that the /etc/default/docker file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictively
Description
You should verify that the /etc/default/docker file permissions are correctly set to 644
or more restrictively
The /etc/default/docker file contains sensitive parameters that may alter the behavior
of the Docker daemon. It should therefore be writeable only by root in order to ensure
that it is not modified by less privileged users.
Remediation
You should execute the following command
chmod 644 /etc/default/docker
This sets the file permissions for this file to 644.
Default Value
This file may not be present on the system and in this case, this recommendation is not applicable.
Usage
Run the control in your terminal:
powerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_20Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_20 --shareSQL
This control uses a named query:
