Control: 3.22 Ensure that the /etc/sysconfig/docker file ownership is set to root:root
Description
You should verify that the /etc/sysconfig/docker file individual ownership and group
ownership is correctly set to root.
The /etc/sysconfig/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 is not modified by less privileged users.
Remediation
You should execute the following command
chown root:root /etc/sysconfig/docker
This sets the ownership and group ownership for the file to root
Default Value
This file may not be present on the system, and in this case, this recommendation is not applicable.
