Description Mike McCune 2011-12-12 20:07:34 UTC 
similar to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766929

The installed /etc/katello/katello.yml file with
database credentials appears to be world-readable:

$ ls -alht /etc/katello/katello.yml 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4.0K Dec  6 17:11 /etc/katello/katello.yml

This permits any user with shell access on the box to obtain the credentials
used to connect to Katello's database, which they could then use to connect
and manipulate the database.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-0.1.135-2.el6.x86_64

Expected results:
Random users cannot read the database config. (It should probably be owned by
the katello user with group/world having no privileges.)
