Description Siddharth Sharma 2017-03-31 06:30:16 UTC 
Description:

skyring-setup command creates random password for mongodb skyring database
but it writes password in plain text to /etc/skyring/skyring.conf file which
is owned by root but read by local user. Any local user who has access to
system running skyring service will be able to get password in plain text.

Hello folks,
I think that recently CVE-2017-2665 had CPE information added.

According the description of the CVE and this bug report it seems that
it just affect rhscon-core. Is this right?

Please let me know and I'll try to request an amend via <https://cveform.mitre.org/>.


Thank you!
