Secure testing team - Aug 2011 - Bug#637439: qtnx: stores keys world readable

Package: qtnx
Version: 0.9-3
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


Hi.

It seems that qtnx stores any non-custom ssh keys world-readable:
$ ls -al ~/.qtnx/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  2 user user 4096 Aug 11 15:01 .
drwx------ 51 user user 4096 Aug 11 15:01 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 user user 1932 Aug 11 14:59 session.nxml

The file contains the key.

Cheers,
Chris.
