CVE-2012-2690  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-255  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libguestfs to version 1:1.18.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libguestfs package and not the libguestfs package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

virt-edit in libguestfs before 1.18.0 does not preserve the permissions from the original file and saves the new file with world-readable permissions when editing, which might allow local guest users to obtain sensitive information.
