Title:	RedHat Update for subscription-manager RHSA-2016:2592-02
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'subscription-manager'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'subscription-manager' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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 (RHN) to Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM). The python-rhsm packages provide a library for communicating with the representational state transfer (REST) 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 (1.17.15), python-rhsm (1.17.9), subscription-manager-migration-data (2.0.31). (BZ#1328553, BZ#1328555, BZ#1328559) Security Fix(es): * 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. (CVE-2016-4455) 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. Affected Software/OS: subscription-manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
