no real problem in autobuild, $RANDOM in use.

./vdsm_reg/deployUtil.py.in:_WORK_DIR = "/tmp"    # hardcoded as server use it as-is
please do not touch, deprecated means of installation

./vdsm_reg/save-config:		      rm -f /tmp/save.out
./vdsm_reg/save-config:		      ovirt_store_config $1 > /tmp/save.out 2>&1
./vdsm_reg/save-config:		      			 cat /tmp/save.out
Effective only in ovirt-node, where /tmp is not accessible by untrusted users. I suggest to fix by dumping vdsm-reg.


Bottom line: only two non-urgent issues to tackle:
./vdsm/storage/storageServer.py:    localPathBase = "/tmp"
./vdsm_reg/save-config:		      rm -f /tmp/save.out

I don't have access to the CVE details but I took the liberty of pointing out what those code excerpts mean so you could make a decision about how it affects VSDM.

./vdsm_reg/save-config:		      			 cat /tmp/save.out

So things like:

// This is bootstrep log and doesn't contain sensitive data
./vds_bootstrap/miniyum.py:        extraLog = open("/tmp/miniyum.log", "a")

can be used for symlink attacks. So it would appear that at least some of these are exploitable.

> ./vds_bootstrap/miniyum.py:        extraLog = open("/tmp/miniyum.log", "a")
> please do not fix, deprecated means of installation

this is only used for testing... it is part of test main.

I agree that any fix for vdsm-reg is to done when dropping the component, whenever I reach this task it eludes me, however I agree that these related to vdsm-reg are minor as the rhev-h/ovirt-node is accessible only for the server sysadmin, and he has much better ways to attack self.
