CVE-2012-5509
aeolus-configserver-setup in the Aeolas Configuration Server, as used in Red Hat CloudForms Cloud Engine before 1.1.2, uses world-readable permissions for a temporary file in /tmp, which allows local users to read credentials by reading this file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
