Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glusterfs-devel package and not the glusterfs-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The setup_logging function in log.h in SANLock uses world-writable permissions for /var/log/sanlock.log, which allows local users to overwrite the file content or bypass intended disk-quota restrictions via standard filesystem write operations.
