title: 'Verify Group Who Owns the system journal'

description: |-
{{%- if 'ubuntu' in product %}}
Verify the /run/log/journal and /var/log/journal files are group-owned by
"systemd-journal" by using the following command:
<pre>
$ sudo find /run/log/journal /var/log/journal -type f -exec stat -c "%n %G" {} \;
</pre>
If any output returned is not group-owned by "systemd-journal", this is a finding.

rationale: |-
RHCOS must protect system journal file from any type of unauthorized access by setting file group ownership.
{{%- if 'ubuntu' in product %}}
Only authorized personnel should be aware of errors and the details of the errors.
Error messages are an indicator of an organization's operational state or can
identify the operating system or platform. Additionally, personally identifiable
information (PII) and operational information must not be revealed through error
messages to unauthorized personnel or their designated representatives.

Configure the system to set the appropriate group-ownership to the files
used by the systemd journal:
Add or modify the following lines in the "/etc/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf" file:
<pre>
z /var/log/journal/%m/system.journal 0640 root systemd-journal - -
</pre>
Restart the system for the changes to take effect.
