Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
The subscription-manager packages provide programs and libraries to allow users to manage subscriptions and yum repositories from the Red Hat entitlement platform. The subscription-manager-migration-data package provides certificates for migrating a system from the legacy Red Hat Network Classic to Red Hat Subscription Management . The python-rhsm packages provide a library for communicating with the representational state transfer interface of a Red Hat Unified Entitlement Platform. The Subscription Management tools use this interface to manage system entitlements, certificates, and access to content. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: subscription-manager , python-rhsm , subscription-manager-migration-data . Security Fix: * It was found that subscription-manager set weak permissions on files in /var/lib/rhsm/, causing an information disclosure. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to access sensitive data that could potentially be used in a social engineering attack. Red Hat would like to thank Robert Scheck for reporting this issue. Additional Changes: For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.
