rhn-client-tools is vulnerable to authorization bypass. The vulnerability exists as it was discovered that rhn-client-tools set insecure permissions on the loginAuth.pkl file, used to store session credentials for authenticating connections to Red Hat Network servers. A local, unprivileged user could use these credentials to download packages from the Red Hat Network. They could also manipulate package or action lists associated with the system’s profile.
