Description Nick Tait 2023-03-25 17:50:26 UTC 
A barbican configuration file is set to world-readable in Red Hat OpenStack. This presents a security risk as it allows authenticated attacker with limited access to the file to view its contents, including secure credential.

I'm trying to triage this CVE (CVE-2023-1633) for a downstream distribution but this
bugzilla entry was the only cross-reference available. Can you share more on the CVE,
does it affect upstream barbican and was it reported there? 

Can you provide more information on it?

Regards,
Salvatore

Yes, sorry for the sparse content at this stage. This is very likely the first public reference to this issue (along with CVE-2023-1636). Both issues came via the same reporter. I believe they both only affect downstream RHOSP. I'm following up with the reporter to get more details. (Will not clear the needinfos as a reminder to myself)

I see the needinfo was canclelled, did you got more information on this
(and as you correctly pointed out CVE-2023-1636) issues?

Thank you already!
