An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Verify that all the registry certificate files (usually found under /etc/docker/certs.d/<registry-name> directory) have permissions of 444 or more restrictive. /etc/docker/certs.d/<registry-name> directory contains Docker registry certificates. These certificate files must have permissions of 444 to maintain the integrity of the certificates. By default, the permissions for registry certificate files might not be 444.
