Description of problem: The file /usr/lib/firewalld/zones/drop.xml is not readable by everyone even if it should be. After all, if it's under /usr, it's not a configuration file, so there's no need to make it a secret. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firewalld-0.2.12-2.fc18.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
It is the default configuration for the zone drop. All zone files in /usr/lib/firewalld/zones are only readable by user and group root. These files should not be modified. If a zone gets customized or modified, it gets copied over to /etc/firewalld/zones/. This applies also for services and icmptypes. We thought about moving these files to some directory in /etc.
I am closing this as not a bug.
If the files aren't to be modified and are the same as in the RPM, I don't see the point in making it private for regular users. The user could download and analyze the RPM, but why make things harder than they should be?
It still happens in Fedora 19, firewalld-0.3.3-2.fc19.noarch.
Neither I see any reason why the files under /usr/lib/firewalld/ (unlike /etc/firewalld/) should be readable only by root. It's no secret what's in those files. I'd say it's 'security by obscurity' by I don't see any security here. Also https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/467
