fuse: udev rule creates world-writeable /dev/cuse

An unspecified udev rule in the Debian fuse package in jessie before 2.9.3-15+deb8u2, in stretch before 2.9.5-1, and in sid before 2.9.5-1 sets world-writable permissions for the /dev/cuse character device, which allows local users to gain privileges via a character device in /dev, related to an ioctl.

openshift: Bind password for AD account is stored in world readable file

Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 uses world-readable permissions on the /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml configuration file, which allows local users to obtain Active Directory credentials by reading the file.

mysql: general_log can write to configuration files, leading to privilege escalation (CPU Oct 2016)

Oracle MySQL through 5.5.52, 5.6.x through 5.6.33, and 5.7.x through 5.7.15; MariaDB before 5.5.51, 10.0.x before 10.0.27, and 10.1.x before 10.1.17; and Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.1, 5.6.x before 5.6.32-78.0, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-7 allow local users to create arbitrary configurations and bypass certain protection mechanisms by setting general_log_file to a my.cnf configuration. NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting malloc_lib. NOTE: the affected MySQL version information is from Oracle's October 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that the issue was silently patched in MySQL 5.5.52, 5.6.33, and 5.7.15.

Insecure Permissions vulnerability in CMSimple v.5.16 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted script to the Functionality of downloading php backup files.

dp-golang Go installation could be owned by wrong user

dp-golang is a Puppet module for Go installations. Prior to 1.2.7, dp-golang could install files — including the compiler binary — with the wrong ownership when Puppet was run as root and the installed package was On macOS: Go version 1.4.3 through 1.21rc3, inclusive, go1.4-bootstrap-20170518.tar.gz, or go1.4-bootstrap-20170531.tar.gz. The user and group specified in Puppet code were ignored for files within the archive. dp-puppet version 1.2.7 will recreate installations if the owner or group of any file or directory within that installation does not match the requested owner or group

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4, 6, 6 SP1, and 7 does not properly handle unspecified "encoding strings," which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site, aka "Post Encoding Information Disclosure Vulnerability."

The web interface in McAfee Email Gateway (formerly IronMail) 6.7.1 allows remote authenticated users, with only Read privileges, to gain Write privileges to modify configuration via the save action in a direct request to admin/systemWebAdminConfig.do.

anaconda: Weak permissions by writing password configuration file in bootloader configuration module

The bootloader configuration module (pyanaconda/bootloader.py) in Anaconda uses 755 permissions for /etc/grub.d, which allows local users to obtain password hashes and conduct brute force password guessing attacks.

OpenIPMI: IPMI event daemon creates PID file with world writeable permissions

ipmievd (aka the IPMI event daemon) in OpenIPMI, as used in the ipmitool package 1.8.11 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, Debian GNU/Linux, Fedora 16, and other products uses 0666 permissions for its ipmievd.pid PID file, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by writing to this file.

OpenJDK: insecure temporary file permissions (JRE, 7143606)

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 update 4 and earlier, 6 update 32 and earlier, 5 update 35 and earlier, and 1.4.2_37 and earlier allows local users to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to printing on Solaris or Linux.

automake: locally exploitable "make distcheck" bug

The "make distcheck" rule in GNU Automake before 1.11.6 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 grants world-writable permissions to the extraction directory, which introduces a race condition that allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Google Chrome before 25.0.1364.97 on Windows and Linux, and before 25.0.1364.99 on Mac OS X, does not properly restrict API privileges during interaction with the Chrome Web Store, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.

The developer-tools process in Google Chrome before 25.0.1364.97 on Windows and Linux, and before 25.0.1364.99 on Mac OS X, does not properly restrict privileges during interaction with a connected server, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.

samba4: Samba 4.0 AD DC files (initially) created as world-writable if additional CIFS file shares are created on the AD DC

Samba 4.x before 4.0.4, when configured as an Active Directory domain controller, uses world-writable permissions on non-default CIFS shares, which allows remote authenticated users to read, modify, create, or delete arbitrary files via standard filesystem operations.

OpenJDK: temporary files created with insecure permissions (JAX-WS, 8003542)

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 6 and 7, allows local users to affect confidentiality via vectors related to JAX-WS. NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue is related to "processing of MTOM attachments" and the creation of temporary files with weak permissions.

kernel: qla2xxx NPIV vport management pseudofiles are world writable

A certain Red Hat configuration step for the qla2xxx driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, when N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) hardware is used, sets world-writable permissions for the (1) vport_create and (2) vport_delete files under /sys/class/scsi_host/, which allows local users to make arbitrary changes to SCSI host attributes by modifying these files.

cobbler: Insecure umask by creating /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/* files after cobbler sync

Cobbler before 2.0.4 uses an incorrect umask value, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by leveraging world writable permissions for files and directories.

kernel: Driver-Core: devtmpfs - set root directory mode to 0755

openSUSE 11.2 installs the devtmpfs root directory with insecure permissions (1777), which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
