Title:
  gnome-keyring reads unsafe SSH keys

Status in GNOME Keyring:
  New
Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-keyring source package in Natty:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

  OpenSSH enforces that one's keys must be mode 0700 so that unsafe
  permissions do not go unnoticed. gnome-keyring should perform this
  check as well. It looks like pkcs11/ssh-store/gkm-ssh-private-key.c
  gkm_ssh_private_key_parse() is the place to do it, or possibly pkcs11
  /ssh-store/gkm-ssh-module.c file_load() since it checks some aspects
  of the files already.
