CWE-732  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 sos-collector to version 0:1.5-3.0.1.el7_6 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2018-3663.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sos-collector package and not the sos-collector package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was discovered that sos-collector does not properly set the default permissions of newly created files, making all files created by the tool readable by any local user. A local attacker may use this flaw by waiting for a legit user to run sos-collector and steal the collected data in the /var/tmp directory.
