CVE-2012-6116
modules/certs/manifests/config.pp in katello-configure before 1.3.3.pulpv2 in Katello uses weak permissions (666) for the Candlepin bootstrap RPM, which allows local users to modify the Candlepin CA certificate by writing to this file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
