Honestly, if you have shell users on your compute... things are all
kinds of bad.

Title:
  image files in _base should not be world-readable

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Already public in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896085 ,
  so probably no point making this private.  But I checked the security
  vulnerability box anyway so someone else can decide.

  We create image files in /var/lib/nova/instances/_base with default
  permissions, usually 644.  It would be better to not make the image
  files world-readable, in case they contain private data.
