Descriptions
sosreport in Red Hat sos 1.7 and earlier on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 produces an archive with an fstab file potentially containing cleartext passwords, and lacks a warning about reviewing this archive to detect included passwords, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to a technical-support data stream.
sosreport en Red Hat sos 1.7 y versiones anteriores en Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 produce un archivo con un fichero fstab conteniendo potencialmente contraseñas en texto plano, y carece de una advertencia sobre la revisión de este fichero para detectar las contraseñas incluidas, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible aprovechando el acceso al flujo de datos de soporte técnico.
Dolev Farhi discovered an information disclosure issue in SoS. If the /etc/fstab file contained passwords, the passwords were included in the SoS report. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Mateusz Guzik discovered that SoS incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files or gain access to temporary file contents containing sensitive system information. Various other issues were also addressed.
