CVE-2020-11979
As mitigation for CVE-2020-1945 Apache Ant 1.10.8 changed the permissions of temporary files it created so that only the current user was allowed to access them.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.02%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
As mitigation for CVE-2020-1945 Apache Ant 1.10.8 changed the permissions of temporary files it created so that only the current user was allowed to access them. Unfortunately the fixcrlf task deleted the temporary file and created a new one without said protection, effectively nullifying the effort. This would still allow an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
