Title:	RedHat Update for subscription-manager RHSA-2017:0698-01
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 later upstream version: subscription-manager (1.18.10), python-rhsm (1.18.6), subscription-manager-migration-data (2.0.34). (BZ#1383475, BZ#1385446, BZ#1385382) 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 6.9 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 Technical Notes linked from the References section. Affected Software/OS: subscription-manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages.
