[one-users] Security issue: world writable files

[Jaime Melis]

Hello Richard,

you're right. At some point we had some issues with libvirt and kvm, and
the way they handle disk image files ownership and permissions, that's the
reason why we have those chmod's. However we can remove them provided that
the opennebula administrator configures libvirt properly to avoid these
problems, in particular, adding the following lines to
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf:

----8<--------
user = "oneadmin"
group = "oneadmin"
dynamic_ownership = 0
---->8--------

We've opened a ticket to deal with this issue:
http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1034

Thanks for reporting this.

Cheers,
Jaime
