Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Liushihui 2016-08-19 06:52:40 UTC

Description of problem:
Configuration file under folder /etc/virt-who.d/ may contain passwords but its permissions are 644 (rw-r--r--). It should be 600 (rw-------) to prevent non-root users to read the configuration file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-who-0.17-7.el7.noarch
subscription-manager-1.17.10-1.el7.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.17.6-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create any config file under /etc/virt-who.d/
# vim /etc/virt-who.d/hyperv
2.Check the permission of this config file.
[root@cloud-qe-16-vm-03 virt-who.d]# ll /etc/virt-who.d/hyperv 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 114 Aug 19 02:43 /etc/virt-who.d/hyperv

Actual results:
its permissions are 644 (rw-r--r--)

Expected results:
Any file under /etc/virt-who.d/ should be 600 (rw-------) to prevent non-root users to read the configuration file.

Comment 1 Radek Novacek 2016-08-23 11:36:05 UTC

I don't think this is necessary. The /etc/virt-who.d directory has drwx------ perms, so non-root users can't access anything in the directory and it does't matter what perms those files have.
