Control: 3.5 Ensure that the /etc/docker directory ownership is set to root:root

Description

You should verify that the /etc/docker directory ownership and group ownership is correctly set to root.

The /etc/docker directory contains certificates and keys in addition to various other sensitive files. It should therefore be individual owned and group owned by root in order to ensure that it can not be modified by less privileged users.

Remediation

To resolve this issue you should run the following command:

chown root:root /etc/docker

This sets the ownership and group ownership for the directory to root.

Default Value

By default, the ownership and group ownership for this directory is correctly set to root.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_5

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run docker_compliance.control.cis_v160_3_5 --share
