Quickstart Cloud Installer Security Vulnerabilities - July

CVE-2016-5411

/var/lib/ovirt-engine/setup/engine-DC-config.py in Red Hat QuickStart Cloud Installer (QCI) before 1.0 GA is created world readable and contains the root password of the deployed system.

CVE-2016-6322

Red Hat QuickStart Cloud Installer (QCI) uses world-readable permissions for /etc/qci/answers, which allows local users to obtain the root password for the deployed system by reading the file.

CVE-2016-6340

The kickstart file in Red Hat QuickStart Cloud Installer (QCI) forces use of MD5 passwords on deployed systems, which makes it easier for attackers to determine cleartext passwords via a brute-force attack.
