Verify User Who Owns The OpenShift Open vSwitch Files

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To properly set the owner of /etc/openvswitch/.*, run the command:

$ sudo chown root /etc/openvswitch/.* 

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.
