Docker Enterprise docker.service file permissions must be set to 644 or more restrictive.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Verify that the docker.service file permissions are correctly set to 644 or more restrictive. docker.service file contains sensitive parameters that may alter the behavior of Docker daemon. Hence, it should not be writable by any other user other than root to maintain the integrity of the file. This file may not be present on the system. In that case, this recommendation is not applicable. By default, if the file is present, the file permissions are correctly set to 644.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
