Overview

cobbler is a network install server.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The files in /etc/cobbler are world-readable. Two of those files contain some sensitive information that can be exposed to a local user who has non-privileged access to the server. The users.digest file contains the sha2-512 digest of users in a Cobbler local installation and has user read-write permissions. The settings.yaml file contains secrets such as the hashed default password and has user read-write permissions.
