Description

To properly set the owner of /var/log/landscape/*, run the command:

$ sudo chown root /var/log/landscape/*

or

$ sudo chown landscape /var/log/landscape/*

Rationale

The /var/log/landscape directory contains information about the landscape-client and should only be accessed by authorized personnel.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

newown=""
if id "root" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  newown="root"
elif id "landscape" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  newown="landscape"
fi

if [[ -z "$newown" ]]; then
  >&2 echo "root and landscape is not a defined user on the system"
else

find -P /var/log/landscape/ -maxdepth 1 -type f  ! -user root ! -user landscape -regextype posix-extended -regex '^.*$' -exec chown --no-dereference "$newown" {} \;

fi

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
