Control: 3.21 Ensure that the /etc/sysconfig/docker file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictively
Description
You should verify that the /etc/sysconfig/docker file permissions are correctly set to
644 or more restrictively.
The /etc/sysconfig/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/sysconfig/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.

powerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_21Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_21 --shareSQL
