CVE-2010-4176
plymouth-pretrigger.sh in dracut and udev, when running on Fedora 13 and 14, sets weak permissions for the /dev/systty device file, which allows remote authenticated users to read terminal data from tty0 for local users.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
