RedHat Update for subscription-manager RHSA-2017:0698-01

The remote host is missing an update for the 'subscription-manager' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

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.
