Apache Symlink Protection: CloudLinux CageFS is installed but not currently running

Answered
FastHive
Hello, I get the following warning in cPanel's Security Advisor. "Apache Symlink Protection: CloudLinux CageFS is installed but not currently runningCageFS appears to be installed but is not currently running. CageFS adds filesystem level security to your users by isolating their filesystems from each other and many other parts of the system. You can start CageFS at the command line with "/etc/init.d/cagefs start". For further information, see the CageFS Documentation." When I try to run the command I get '-bash: /etc/init.d/cagefs: No such file or directory' Any Ideas ? Best Regards.

    Can you please try with following command.
    yum install cagefs /usr/sbin/cagefsctl --init OR /usr/sbin/cagefsctl --reinit
    And Enable cagefs for all accounts.
    /usr/sbin/cagefsctl --enable-all

    Hello! There is a known issue with Cloudlinux 7 and the Security Advisor that causes the message that you showed. That is open as internal case CPANEL-9923, which has been marked as resolved in cPanel 62. Can you verify that you are running Cloudlinux 7 and cPanel 60 or below? Thanks!

    Hello, An additional case, CPANEL-10580, is open to address the issue where Security Advisor still reports that CageFS is not running on CloudLinux 7 systems. I'll update this thread with more information on the status of this case as it becomes available. Thank you.

    Hello! Case CPANEL-10580 is still currently open so there is no fix for that out yet. I would recommend keeping an eye on our changelog here for when that case is pushed out. Change Logs - Change Logs - cPanel Documentation Thanks!

CageFS adds filesystem level security to your users by isolating their filesystems from each other and many other parts of the system. For further information, see the CageFS Documentation.

    Hello, This is a false positive, as the resolution stemming from CPANEL-10580 is not yet published to cPanel version 62. I'll update this thread once we've published a new Security Advisor build to cPanel 62. Thank you.

    This is happening on a new server using:
    CloudLinux v9.4.0 STANDARD standard 124.0.9

    Is there a fix to this?

    Are you also getting the "no such file or directory" error?  If so, has CageFS been installed?

    Hi, cPrex.

    No, it doesn't mention "no such file or directory".

    The error shows the following:

    Apache Symlink Protection: CloudLinux CageFS is installed but not currently running

    CageFS appears to be installed but is not currently running. CageFS adds filesystem level security to your users by isolating their filesystems from each other and many other parts of the system. For further information, see the CageFS Documentation.

    Regards,
    Sergio

    Can you try running this?

    cagefsctl --init

    Let me know what the output from that is and we can go from there.

    cPrex,
    this is what it shows running that command:

    [root@server ~]# cagefsctl --init
    Error : directory /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton already exists.
    Use "/sbin/cagefsctl --reinit" if you want to reinitialize CageFS

    Regards,
    Sergio

    Thanks for that.  It certainly looks like it's running but it just isn't being detected by the system.  Can you try the reinit command and then let me know if you still get those notifications?

    cPrex,
    I have just done the reinit and the error dissapeared, thank you!

    Best Regards,
