RHEL-09-232040 - RHEL 9 cron configuration directories must have a mode of 0700 or less permissive.

Information

Service configuration files enable or disable features of their respective services that if configured incorrectly can lead to insecure and vulnerable configurations. Therefore, service configuration files should have the correct access rights to prevent unauthorized changes.

Solution

Configure any RHEL 9 cron configuration directory with a mode more permissive than "0700" as follows:

chmod 0700 [cron configuration directory]
