Descriptions

ppc64-diag 2.6.1 uses 0775 permissions for /tmp/diagSEsnap and does not properly restrict permissions for /tmp/diagSEsnap/snapH.tar.gz, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in this archive, as demonstrated by /var/log/messages and /etc/yaboot.conf.

ppc64-diag 2.6.1 utiliza permisos 0775 para /tmp/diagSEsnap y no restringe debidamente permisos para /tmp/diagSEsnap/snapH.tar.gz, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener informaciĆ³n sensible mediante la lectura de ficheros en este archivo, tal y como fue demostrado por /var/log/messages y /etc/yaboot.conf.

Multiple insecure temporary file use flaws were found in the way the ppc64-diag utility created certain temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use either of these flaws to perform a symbolic link attack and overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running ppc64-diag, or obtain sensitive information from the temporary files.
