1.113 RHEL-10-400135

Information

RHEL 10 must be configured so that cron configuration files directories are group-owned by root.

GROUP ID: V-281044RULE ID: SV-281044r1184618

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 should be owned by the correct group to prevent unauthorized changes.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that any cron configuration file directories are group-owned by "root" with the following command:

$ sudo chgrp root [cron config file]
