Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
initscripts in rPath Linux 1 sets insecure permissions for the /var/log/btmp file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information regarding authentication attempts. NOTE: because sshd detects the insecure permissions and does not log certain events, this also prevents sshd from logging failed authentication attempts by remote attackers.
