Details

Verify that the /etc/docker directory permissions are correctly set to ‘755’ or more

restrictive.

‘/etc/docker’ directory contains certificates and keys in addition to various sensitive files.

Hence, it should only be writable by ‘root’ to maintain the integrity of the directory.

Solution

#> chmod 755 /etc/docker
This would set the permissions for the directory to ‘755’.

Impact-None.

Default Value-By default, the permissions for this directory are correctly set to ‘755’.
