Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: subscription-manager security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0698-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0698.html

Issue date: 2017-03-21

CVE Names: CVE-2016-4455

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for subscription-manager, subscription-manager-migration-data,

and python-rhsm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from

the CVE link(s) in the References section.

3. Description:

 

The subscription-manager packages provide programs and libraries to allow

users to manage subscriptions and yum repositories from the Red Hat

entitlement platform.

 

The subscription-manager-migration-data package provides certificates for

migrating a system from the legacy Red Hat Network Classic (RHN) to Red Hat

Subscription Management (RHSM).

 

The python-rhsm packages provide a library for communicating with the

representational state transfer (REST) interface of a Red Hat Unified

Entitlement Platform. The Subscription Management tools use this interface

to manage system entitlements, certificates, and access to content.

 

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:

subscription-manager (1.18.10), python-rhsm (1.18.6),

subscription-manager-migration-data (2.0.34). (BZ#1383475, BZ#1385446,

BZ#1385382)

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* It was found that subscription-manager set weak permissions on files in

/var/lib/rhsm/, causing an information disclosure. A local, unprivileged

user could use this flaw to access sensitive data that could potentially be

used in a social engineering attack. (CVE-2016-4455)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Robert Scheck for reporting this issue.

 

Additional Changes:

 

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6.9 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9
