Description Nick Coghlan 2012-05-30 06:29:32 UTC
Description of problem:

The cached pulp credentials (including the parent directory) are created as world readable.

$ ls -l ~/.pulp/
total 8
-rw-rw-r--. 1 ncoghlan ncoghlan  917 Aug  2  2011 client.log
-rw-rw-r--. 1 ncoghlan ncoghlan 1726 May 14 14:03 user-cert.pem

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Seen with Pulp 0.0.267, didn't see anything in the 1.1.0 changelog to suggest it had been fixed.

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pulp-admin auth login -u <username>
3. enter password

  
Actual results:

Cached credentials are world readable

Expected results:

Cached credentials can only be read by the current user
Client refuses to run if cached credentials are world readable

Additional info:

A simple workaround for the problem is to run "chmod 0700 ~/.pulp" to restrict access to the containing directory

Comment 1 Randy Barlow 2014-01-02 21:52:39 UTC
I believe this is resolved in master, but I do not know which version of Pulp it is fixed in (or if that version is released.)

Preethi, to verify this bug, please:

2) $ pulp-admin login…

3) $ ls -lah ~/.pulp/

Make sure the user-cert.pem file is only readable by the owner (should be 600).

Comment 2 Randy Barlow 2014-03-18 16:04:37 UTC
This was fixed in a prior release of Pulp, but we never put it through the QE process. Moving to ON_QA.

Verified in pulp-admin-client-2.4.0-0.11.beta.fc20.noarch
