cyberstrikeus CIS Docker Benchmark v1.7.0 - Control 3.24
Description
You should verify that the Containerd socket file has permissions of 660 or are configured more restrictively.
Rationale
Only root and the members of the root group should be allowed to read and write to the default Containerd Unix socket. The Containerd socket file should therefore have permissions of 660 or more restrictive permissions.
Impact
None.
Audit Procedure
You should execute the command below to verify that the Docker socket file has permissions of 660 or more restrictive permissions
stat -c %a /run/containerd/containerd.sock
Remediation
You should execute the command below.
chmod 660 /run/containerd/containerd.sock
This sets the file permissions of the Containerd socket file to 660.
Default Value
By default, the permissions for the Containerd socket file is correctly set to 660.
