Information

AlmaLinux OS 9 SSH server configuration files must have mode 0600 or less permissive.

GROUP ID: V-269263
RULE ID: SV-269263r1050145

Service configuration files enable or disable features of their respective services, which if configured incorrectly, can lead to insecure and vulnerable configurations. Therefore, service configuration files must be owned by the correct group to prevent unauthorized changes.

Solution

Configure the SSHD config files to have "0600" permissions with the following command:

$ chmod 0600 /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf
