Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3696)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The weakness exists due to unsafe use of Bash's $RANDOM that generates a NSS DB password and seed resulting in insufficient randomness. A remote attacker can potentially guess the seed used given enough time and compute resources.
