Due to the way rename() across filesystems is implemented, it is possible that file being renamed is briefly available with wrong permissions while the rename is ongoing, thus enabling unauthorized users to access the data.

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
