Information

Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root.

Rationale:

The controller manager pod specification file controls various parameters that set the behavior of various components of the master node. You should set its file ownership to maintain the integrity of the file. The file should be owned by root:root.

Impact:

None

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

No remediation required; file permissions are managed by the operator.

Default Value:

By default, in OpenShift 4, the kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml file ownership is set to root:root.
