Description Adam Mariš 2016-04-20 11:51:53 EDT

Sander Bos reports:

It was found that pulp-qpid-ssl-cfg script creates certificate files and NSS database files in world-readable unsafe temporary directory $DIR, from which is than the content copied to permanent installation directory $INST_DIR with wrongly assigned permissions, which are corrected only after the copying process is done. This bug gives attacker a time frame for stealing sensitive data.
