Description

rsyslog will create logfiles that do not already exist on the system. This settings controls what permissions will be applied to these newly created files.

Rationale

It is important to ensure that log files have the correct permissions to ensure that sensitive data is archived and protected.

Remediation

Shell script

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

#!/bin/bash

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if [ ! -f /.dockerenv ] && [ ! -f /run/.containerenv ]; then

readarray -t targets < <(grep -H '^\s*$FileCreateMode' /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/*)

# if $FileCreateMode set in multiple places
if [ ${#targets[@]} -gt 1 ]; then
    # delete all and create new entry with expected value
    sed -i '/^\s*$FileCreateMode/d' /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/*
    echo '$FileCreateMode 0640' > /etc/rsyslog.d/99-rsyslog_filecreatemode.conf
# if $FileCreateMode set in only one place
elif [ "${#targets[@]}" -eq 1 ]; then
    filename=$(echo "${targets[0]}" | cut -d':' -f1)
    value=$(echo "${targets[0]}" | cut -d' ' -f2)
    #convert to decimal and bitwise or operation
    result=$((8#$value | 416))
    # if more permissive than expected, then set it to 0640
    if [ $result -ne 416 ]; then
        # if value is wrong remove it
        sed -i '/^\s*$FileCreateMode/d' $filename
        echo '$FileCreateMode 0640' > $filename
    fi
else
    echo '$FileCreateMode 0640' > /etc/rsyslog.d/99-rsyslog_filecreatemode.conf
fi

systemctl restart rsyslog.service

else
    >&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
