Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Red Hat Bugzilla 768307 0 high CLOSED install script fails: in logs cmod 0666 needed for /usr/share/katello/log/production.log 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Internal Links: 768307

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.)

Damn! Nice catch.

Comment 2 Lukas Zapletal 2011-12-13 13:17:09 UTC

Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2011-12-16 16:05:52 UTC
