Verify Group Who Owns The OVNKubernetes Socket

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To properly set the group owner of /run/ovn-kubernetes/cni/ovn-cni-server.sock, run the command:

$ sudo chgrp root /run/ovn-kubernetes/cni/ovn-cni-server.sock

Rationale

CNI (Container Network Interface) files consist of a specification and libraries for writing plugins to configure network interfaces in Linux containers, along with a number of supported plugins. Allowing writeable access to the files could allow an attacker to modify the networking configuration potentially adding a rogue network connection.
