execute the below command with the correct file path to set the ownership and group
ownership for the file to ‘root’.For example,
chown root-root /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.socketImpact-None.Default Value-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 ownership and group-ownership for this file
is correctly set to ‘root’.
