openvswitch: /var/log/openvswitch is world readable
Last modified: 2017-08-30 10:04:38 EDT
Description of problem: The directory /var/log/openvswitch is world readable and contains log files that are readable, which can result in the exposure of sensitive information. The 'other readable/execute' bits need to be removed from the /var/log/openvswitch directory. Because no sensitive data was found in the files, this is being raised as a hardening bug, and not a flaw. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openvswitch-2.5.0-14.git20160727.el7fdp Steps to reproduce: $ ls -la /var/log/openvswitch total 44 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 52 Mar 7 20:12 . drwxr-xr-x. 29 root root 4096 Mar 12 21:40 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2107 Mar 12 21:40 ovsdb-server.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 31302 Mar 12 21:42 ovs-vswitchd.log
