Descriptions

In some cases, Kea log files or lease files may be world-readable.
This issue affects Kea versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.1, 2.6.0 through 2.6.2, and 2.7.0 through 2.7.8.

A vulnerability was found in the Kea package, where an attacker with access to a local unprivileged user may be able to read the logs and DHCP lease information. This can be used to retrieve sensitive information about the DHCP clients and about the Kea process itself.

In some cases, Kea log files or lease files may be world-readable. This issue affects Kea versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.1, 2.6.0 through 2.6.2, and 2.7.0 through 2.7.8.

These are all security issues fixed in the kea-2.6.3-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

*Credits: ISC would like to thank Matthias Gerstner from the SUSE security team for bringing this vulnerability to our attention.
