Description
This issue is the result of a unembargoed vulnerability disclosure. to pulp-security list The exploit is as follows:
1If mongo runs without authentication on localhost and /etc/pulp/server.conf is misconfigured to be readable by non apache users, said user can call
from pulp.server.db.connection import initialize; initialize()
and do whatever they want in the database (reset password, raise their pulp privilege level)
As a security improvement we could validate that permissions on /etc/pulp/server.conf is set correctly before the pulp server is able to start.
The correct permission is 600 with apache as owner and group.
