Description Kurt Seifried 2013-04-25 04:04:50 UTC
The directory /var/log/nova is world readable and contains log files that
are readable which can result in exposure of sensitive information. We need
to remove the "other readable/execute" bits from the /var/log/nova directory

[root@rhos log]# ls -la /var/log/nova/
total 204
drwxr-xr-x.  2 nova root  4096 Apr 24 21:37 .
drwxr-xr-x. 22 root root  4096 Apr 24 21:37 ..

-rw-r--r--.  1 nova nova   311 Apr 24 21:37 xvpvncproxy.log

At this time this is a security hardening issue.
