Description of problem:
There is some information which is shown to anybody. It would be more secure to restrict right for that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sat530 + spacewalk10

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

<FQDN_OF_SATELLITE>/server-status

2. <FQDN_OF_SATELLITE>/icons/README

The reason why we configure server status to be shown is monitoring -- it allows us to then have Satellite's httpd monitored by itself or by other monitoring scouts.

I've just tried that this is the default RHEL httpd behaviour. IOW, even on pure RHEL with httpd and no Satellite nor Spacewalk packages, the /icons/README is accessible.

So the second issue is not Satellite issue.

As for the first issue -- we can certainly remove that

<Location /server-status>
        SetHandler server-status
</Location>

part from /etc/rhn/satellite-httpd/conf/rhn/rhn_monitoring.conf but I do not see it as Satellite 5.3.1 material -- if we did that, monitoring could stop working for our customers.

Therefore, moving this bugzilla to sat600-triage.

Revert if you disagree.

Taking.

Comment 6 Jan Pazdziora 2010-07-20 14:20:16 UTC
The /server-status issue fixed in Spacewalk mater, fe960724e3f85f2d1f17a44459ddb2516c8189d9.

We don't plan to do anything about that /icons/README as it is stock httpd configuration.

Comment 7 Peter Bieringer 2010-08-03 15:56:03 UTC
A workaround for the server-status is:

# cat <<END >/etc/httpd/conf.d/yy-server-status-acl.conf
<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Location>
END

Moving ON_QA as Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20100818.0 contains spacewalk-config-1.1.7-1.el5sat.noarch.rpm.
