Description

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

$ sudo chown root /var/log/messages

Rationale

The /var/log/messages file contains logs of error messages in the system 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 "0" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  newown="0"
fi

if [[ -z "$newown" ]]; then
  >&2 echo "0 is not a defined user on the system"
else
if ! stat -c "%u %U" "/var/log/messages" | grep -E -w -q "0"; then
    chown --no-dereference "$newown" /var/log/messages
fi

fi

Ansible playbook

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