0640 permission in permissions_local_var_log should only apply to files

[cueball23]

Description:

Ubuntu remediation for permissions_local_var_log changes the permission of /var/log to 0640 as a result services like lighttpd can't access it logfiles.

Rationale:

Services should be able to access their logfiles.

Review Hints:

In the yml file for this rule the check is listet for files only.

Line 52 in afbd589

sudo find /var/log -perm /137 -type f -exec stat -c "%n %a" {} \;

Thank you.

Hi @cueball23. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a ComplianceAsCode member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.
