MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.64%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.64%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A vulnerability was found in logrotate in how the state file is created. The state file is used to prevent parallel executions of multiple instances of logrotate by acquiring and releasing a file lock. When the state file does not exist, it is created with world-readable permission, allowing an unprivileged user to lock the state file, stopping any rotation. This flaw affects logrotate versions before 3.20.0.
