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.

Description Daniel Berrangé 2010-04-22 13:33:22 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #581823 +++

Description of problem:
By default, openssl sets /etc/pki/CA to be browsable only by root. libvirt's remote client wants to read /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem in order to connect to remote libvirtd over tls. this is not permitted if done by non-root.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-client-0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64 openssl-1.0.0-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2010-04-22 13:35:39 UTC 
The /etc/pki/CA/ directory is used to hold the CA certificates & CRL. This data is not security sensitive, so restricting its access to root is not appropriate AFAICT & should be -rwxr-xr-x.  The sensitive data (ie CA private key) is in /etc/pki/CA/private/ which clearly does need to be -rwx-----

cf path usage described in http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15601
