Description Robert Vogelgesang 2015-10-06 13:17:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installing roundcubemail creates directories with insecure permissions, granting read-access to sensitive data to anyone on the same host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
roundcubemail-1.1.2-1.el7.noarch
roundcubemail-1.1.3-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just install the package using yum.
2.
3.

Actual results:
ls -ld /var/lib/roundcubemail /var/log/roundcubemail
drwxrwxr-x. 2 root apache  6 Sep 22 19:01 /var/lib/roundcubemail
drwxrwxr-x. 2 root apache 51 Oct  5 18:52 /var/log/roundcubemail

Expected results:
drwxr-x---. 2 apache apache  6 Sep 22 19:01 /var/lib/roundcubemail
drwxr-x---. 2 apache apache 51 Oct  5 18:52 /var/log/roundcubemail

Additional info:

The logrotate configuration contains a create option with mask 0660 which fixes a part of the problem; it does not prevent access to files created prior to the first file rotation.  And there are possibly other logs in /var/log/roundcubemail/ which are not covered by the logrotate configuration, and logrotate isn't a feasible solution for /var/lib/roundcubemail/.

Please do not set group write permissions for group apache to allow write access for the webserver process, but do use owner access, instead.

I prefer to keep group write access, to allow various user (apache / nginx instances to use this directory)

But definitively, should not be world readable
