Red Hat Insights reports permissions problem on /var/log/cron
Last modified: 2018-05-15 15:02:31 EDT
Description of problem: Red Hat Insights is reporting the fact that users other than root can read /var/log/cron. It suggests tightening these up to the default permissions for cron logs on RHEL, which are read/write by root only. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhvm-appliance-4.1.20170511.0-1.el7.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ls -l /var/log/cron 2. 3. Actual results: [root@rhvm ~]# ls -l /var/log/cron -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8564 Jul 31 07:01 /var/log/cron Expected results: [root@ocp ~]# ls -l /var/log/cron -rw-------. 1 root root 6870 Jul 31 07:01 /var/log/cron Additional info:
Tried with: rhvm-appliance-4.2-20171219.0 # ls -l /var/log/cron -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1618 Jan 29 05:22 /var/log/cron
Nice catch, it was added to spin-kickstarts for rhvm-4.1 only
ok, rhvm-appliance-4.2-20180202.0.x86_64.rhevm.ova # ls -l /var/log/cron -rw-------. 1 root root 188 Mar 7 10:20 /var/log/cron
