NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocaml-libguestfs-devel package and not the ocaml-libguestfs-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 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.
