Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Bug 1087926

Summary:	file permissions of pkcs11.txt/secmod.db must be kept when modified by NSS

Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: NSS changed the permissions of the existing pkcs11.txt file, reverting to the strict default of 0600, even when the file previously had other permissions. Consequence: This prevented users from adding security modules to their own configuration which is accomplished via acces to the system-wide security databases. If the user has root access the system database is modified otherwise the user's own default database is the one that is modified. Fix: NSS now keeps the strict default 0600 permissions for new files while preserving the existing permissions when replacing an existing pkcs11.txt file. Result: Users can now make the necessary modifications to the nss security module database.	Story Points:	---
