Information

Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file has permissions of 600 or more restrictive.

Rationale:

The scheduler pod specification file controls various parameters that set the behavior of the Scheduler service in the master node. You should restrict its file permissions to maintain the integrity of the file. The file should be writable by only the administrators on the system.

Impact:

None

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

execute command:

chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-scheduler-pod.yaml

Default Value:

By default, in OpenShift 4, openshift-kube-scheduler-pod.yaml file has permissions of 644.
