CVE-2016-3111: pulp.spec generates its RSA keys for message signing insecurely
Description
During installation, the RSA key pairs used to validate messages between the pulp server and pulp consumers are generated in a directory that is world-readable with a umask of 002. After it was written, the permissions are modified to protect the key. For a brief moment, the RSA keys are world-readable. An attacker who has access to the host installing Pulp could theoretically open the file after it is created, but before its permissions are set, and read the private key.

pulp.spec now generate RSA keys with umask 077 (CVE-2016-3111)
During installation, the RSA key pairs used to validate messages between the pulp server and pulp consumers were generated in a directory that is world-readable with a umask of 002. After it was written, the permissions were modified to protect the key. For a brief moment, the RSA keys were world-readable. This commit explicitly sets the umask in the %post scriptlet to be 077 so it is only readable to the owner.
