Description Summer Long 2017-02-10 04:46:10 UTC 
The directory /var/log/heat 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/heat directory:

[stack@instack ~]$ ls -la /var/log/heat
total 39376
