Discussion

Chroot is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and their children. A program that is run in such a modified environment cannot access files and commands outside that environmental directory tree. This modified environment is called a chroot jail.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

grep 'chroot' /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

If the value "/var/lib/haproxy" is not listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

Navigate to and configure the globals section with the following value:

'chroot /var/lib/haproxy'
