Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3696)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The weakness exists in the pulp-qpid-ssl-cfg script due to creation of the private CA key in a directory that is world-readable for a small amount of time. A local attacker can gain access to the private key information in the file.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3704)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
