1.118 RHEL-10-400155

Information

RHEL 10 must be configured so that the Secure Shell (SSH) server configuration file is owned by "root".

GROUP ID: V-281048RULE ID: SV-281048r1184648

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 RHEL 10 so that the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file and the contents of "/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d" are owned by "root" with the following command:

$ sudo chown -R root /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d
