How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest rsyslog.

NVD Description

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

rsyslog uses weak permissions for generating log files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in /var/log/cron.
