Description
SSH server private keys, files that match the /etc/ssh/*_key glob, must be owned
by root user.
Rationale
If an unauthorized user obtains the private SSH host key file, the host could be impersonated.
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
find /etc/ssh/ -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -uid 0 -regex '^.*_key$' -exec chown 0 {} \;
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
Ansible playbook
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
- name: Find /etc/ssh/ file(s) matching ^.*_key$
command: find -H /etc/ssh/ -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -uid 0 -regex "^.*_key$"
register: files_found
changed_when: false
