Description Kurt Seifried 2012-05-07 17:46:39 UTC
Description of problem:

SAM 1.0 uses the PostgreSQL database. By default it listens on localhost (good) and all network IP's (bad). SAM only needs to talk to PostgreSQL locally, removing the network listening from all IP's would significantly reduce the attack surface of PostgreSQL with no impact to the SAM product. 

Assuming SAM keeps the config files in the normal locations simply edit:

/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf 

and ensure the line 

listen_addresses = 'localhost'

is present. 

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install SAM
2. netstat -vatn - postgresql is listneing on 0.0.0.0:5432
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Comment 1 Lukas Zapletal 2012-05-15 09:46:35 UTC
Yeah, this is valid request I guess. But I am testing it right now if it does not hurt us. Candlepin use PGSQL too, not sure if they both connect to localhost.

Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2012-07-31 07:22:13 UTC
Uh for some reson my pull request got deleted. Resubmitting again: https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/403

Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2012-08-06 11:54:33 UTC
fixed in katello.git in commit aa6286b

Comment 6 Og Maciel 2012-10-09 20:40:23 UTC
It was not clear why the applied fix added a line that was commented out:

  grep "listen_address" /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf 
  # "pg_ctl reload". Some settings, such as listen_addresses, require
  #listen_addresses = '*'

Comment 9 Og Maciel 2012-10-10 15:06:04 UTC
As per Lukas recommendation I:

* service iptables stop
* telnet [my-system-ip] 5432
Trying [my-system-ip]...
telnet: connect to address [my-system-ip]: Connection refused
