Prasanna Santhanam commented on CLOUDSTACK-2534: ------------------------------------------------ Both the keys are the same private key. However one of them is public readable. While the one in /var will allow you to login to vmware hosts because of ssh security, the one under /usr still needs to be made secure enough. It shouldn't be world readable. > Packaging puts SSH private keys as public readable on management server > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-2534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2534 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Components: VMware > Reporter: Girish Shilamkar > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 4.2.0 > > > SSH public key is group readable which is security threat. > ls -la /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/vm/systemvm/id_rsa.cloud > -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1670 May 15 22:54 > /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/vm/systemvm/id_rsa.cloud -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
