Description

Ensure that if the kubelet refers to a configuration file with the --config argument, that file is owned by root:root. The kubelet reads various parameters, including security settings, from a config file specified by the --config argument.

Remediation

Run the following command based on the file located in the --config parameter:

chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf
