Verify Permissions on the OpenShift Node Service File

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To properly set the permissions of /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service, run the command:

$ sudo chmod 0644 /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service

Rationale

If the /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service file is writable by a group-owner or the world the risk of its compromise is increased. The file contains the service configuration of the OpenShift node service that is configured on the system. Protection of this file is critical for OpenShift security.
