CVE-2018-14650

A local attacker may use this flaw by waiting for a legit user to run sos-collector and steal the collected data in the /var/tmp directory.

MEDIUM 5.0EPSS 0.43%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

It was discovered that sos-collector does not properly set the default permissions of newly created files, making all files created by the tool readable by any local user. A local attacker may use this flaw by waiting for a legit user to run sos-collector and steal the collected data in the /var/tmp directory.
