Descriptions

openshift-origin-broker-util, as used in Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.2.7 and 2.0.5, uses world-readable permissions for the mcollective client.cfg configuration file, which allows local users to obtain credentials and other sensitive information by reading the file.

openshift-origin-broker-util, utilizado en Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.2.7 y 2.0.5, utiliza permisos de lectura universal para el archivo de configuración de mcollective client.cfg, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener credenciales y otra información sensible mediante la lectura del archivo.

The openshift-origin-broker-util package provides utility scripts for the OpenShift Broker service, which manages all user logins, DNS name resolution, application states, and general orchestration of the applications. It was discovered that the mcollective client.cfg configuration file was world-readable by default. A malicious, local user on a host with the OpenShift Broker installed could read sensitive information regarding the mcollective installation, including mcollective authentication credentials. A malicious user able to obtain said credentials would potentially have full control over all OpenShift nodes managed via mcollective.
