Description Lee Yarwood 2014-10-06 13:14:57 UTC
Description of problem:

/var/log/neutron/ and all logs within it are world readable. These logs can contain sensitive information and should have access restricted as much as possible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openstack-neutron-2014.1.2-4.

Comment 1 Ihar Hrachyshka 2014-10-07 16:58:13 UTC
Though I agree that we should limit access to log directory as much as possible, the issue is not Neutron specific, and is present in other components (I've checked Nova, Ceilometer; I expect other components to follow the example). So we need to determine how to properly handle that project wide.

Agreed, however the customer cited Neutron in the case thus the specific bug. Shall we create an overall tracker to audit the permissions of all openstack service logs and keep this one targeted at Neutron?

@Perry, I'm all for tracking the issue in all projects though I'm not the one to decide, clone and track all of them.

As for puppet, I think the proper way is to make sure puppet modules do *not* touch any directories and rely on proper packaging. Yes, the clone for puppet-modules will also be needed to track that.

Have tested in Rhe7 
openstack-neutron-2014.1.3-8.el7ost.noarch

/var/log/neutron directory is chmod 750 
drwxr-x---. 2 neutron    neutron    4096 Nov 13 15:27 neutron
